Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: The first release following the departure of his bandmates to form Bow Wow Wow, recorded after teaming up with Marco Pirroni but prior to recruiting a new band. Therefore, Ant and Pirroni do everything apart from drums, which is handled by Jon Moss. By removing the boring first part and gong straight into the "pop" bit of the tune, it's a decided move to the mainstream and a great single. The B-Side is a cracking little punk choon.

Additional Notes

A-Side is different version of the Dirk song.
