the tiny Shoestring Records in early 1978.
 The tracks were produced incognito by Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin. “Robert put all needles in the red which is why it sounds so raw! Also, we couldn’t sing and you can hear Robert’s high falsetto at the top end, trying to keep us lot in tune!” said the band.
 Original copies of this record sell for over £100, so here is a chance to see and hear what all the fuss is about.
