Back in the late '80s some Mancunian chancer told me the following tall tale . . . 'Brian Chevette has just moved into our street and he gave me this white label demo of songs they recorded in the final days of Eater. The record company asked them to write some more commercial songs but it ended up not being released, but I'd swap it for a hardcore punk single if you have any going spare?' Well, I didn't really believe it but I had a bunch of Tension's 'Pericolo Di Morte' E.P.s that weren't really selling and so I did the deal. This white label 'demo' had 'Still Dancing' stamped on the label. Years later I found out it was The Toys' second E.P. 'Still Dancing' and I ended up flogging it on E-bay to some dude in Japan for 50 quid, even without the sleeve. I bet that Manc chancer feels rather silly right now!!!
8. THE CLASH -
'London's Burning'
- CBS 7" - UK - 1977
Another Clash flipside which, in this case, was better than the A-side ('Remote Control').
9. THE TOY DOLLS -
'Alfie From The Bronx' - Volume 7" - UK - 1983
A sad tale about the casualties of urban regeneration. The power trio at it's best with all instruments outstanding, including the faux-kids backing vocals.

Heaven'
