Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Their first single, this EP plays the groundwork for the next three years: simple-minded Ramones-y riffs, basic production, and shouty vocals blaring inane, simplistic lyrics. Totally unpretentious and gloriously artless, it's a good start despite John Cale's thin production.

Additional Notes

The original 12" is much easier to find than the original 7", whilst on the reissue the 12" is much rarer.
