The opening track from the excellent 'Hell Comes To Your House' compilation.

Having revisited '(I'm) Stranded' it's only fair that we revisit 'Eternally Yours' too.

3. THE ROUSERS - 'My Girlfriend's Mother' - Ariola LP - Netherlands - 1980

A Freudian nightmare from their second album 'Touched'.

If 'Hell Comes To Your House' there's gonna be evil.

5. RAPED TEENAGERS - 'Duvan' - Over The Top LP - Sweden - 1987

Try searching for this lot on a public library computer. From 'Kalas Puffar'.

6. THE SAINTS - 'Lipstick On Your Collar' - EMI Harvest 2 x 7" - Australia - 1977

Between the first two albums came the '1-2-3-4' double single. One of my favourite cover versions. Just feel the power.

A second track from 'Eternally Yours'.

12. TOMMY TUTONE - '867-5309 Jenny' - Columbia 7" - USA - 1981

Powerpop perfection, handclaps and all.

Whereas the Conservatives didn't bother leaving this girl's number. From 'Hell Comes . . .'
