Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Another single, another gimmick: after triangular orange vinyl for Gimmix! and clear vinyl for Walking Back To Happiness, this here track from Walking is on innocuous-looking black vinyl. Therein lies the catch: Side 1 is double-grooved; depending on where you drop the needle you get the rude 'Twat' or a censored version called 'Splat', which substitutes the many naughty words for sound effects. B-Side 'Sleepwalk' is a taster for the forthcoming Snap, Crackle & Bop LP.

Additional Notes

B-Side is credited to John Cooper Clarke & The Invisible Girls.
