Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady

Buzzcocks
Singles Going Steady
Liberty LBR 1043
1979
99p  (+£1.99 p&p).
Filed between David Bowie 'Aladdin Sane' and The Byrds (self-titled best-of).

I can pin-point my introduction to the Buzzcocks to April 1989. The Rockit Dolls had played their first gig and we were told by local legend Pete Murphy (who we later immortalised in song) that we sounded like them. Funnily enough the band we were most trying to resemble were Soho Roses and once our singer, Mark, picked up a copy of Singles Going Steady it became apparent that Paul Blitz and co were Buzzcocks fans and that we’d acquired the similarity second-hand.
