1. MASSMEDIA - 'Das Jazz' - Massproduktion 7" - Sweden - 1979
So here's a nice sloppy yet raucous start. Their second single. Particularly like the drums.
2. METAL URBAIN - 'Panik' - Cobra 7" - France - 1977
Whereas this lot had a bloody drum machine! Cool video though.
3. CHRIS SPEDDING &
THE VIBRATORS - 'Pogo Dancing' - RAK 7" - UK - 1976
Meanwhile this is NOT so cool!
4. GLI INCESTI - 'Sabato
Midnight' - CLS 7" - Italy - 1978
The flipside of their 'Punk Rock' single with an obvious Ramones influence. Anyone got the album?

5. THE BROMMERS - 'Fine
Words' - P.P.O.P. 7" - Netherlands - 1980
From their sole 'Defekt' E.P. 500 numbered copies. Why do bands do that?

9. THE REZILLOS - 'Flying
Saucer Attack' - Sire 7" - UK - 1977

Information' - Virgin 7" - UK - 1979
Another second single. It's no 'Language School' but, hey, what is?

12. THE ASTRO'S - 'Fun Time' - R.A.M. 7" - UK - 1980
From the flipside of their sole 'Snake-Bite' E.P. Lots of 'Oi Oi's' without actually being Oi!

Life' - L.M. LP - Italy - 1981

Har Inga Kamrater' - Bröderna Surf LP - Sweden - 1978

15. THE VIBRATORS - 'We
Vibrate' - RAK 7" - UK - 1976
First single (if you discount 'Pogo Dancing'). So that's where the Rezillos got their UFO sound!

16. THE NEWS - '50%
Reduction' - Polydor 7" - UK - 1980
And another debut single. Has anyone ever seen a picture sleeve?

17. THE DOGS - 'Here Comes
My Baby' - Melodies Massacre 12" - France - 1978
After their debut 7" this E.P. was something of a disappointment. Entitled 'Go Where You Want To Go'. To their credit, they kept bashing them out throughout the '80s and '90s.

18. DR ZEKE - 'Jag Ska
Aldrig Dö' - Schmajlers 7" - Sweden - 1979
Whereas Sweden's Dr. Zeke only managed the one single, more's the shame.
