In the same category, albeit a bit earlier, this is a killer one "hit" wonder and one of my favourite ever punk songs...
The Killjoys – Johnny Won't Get To Heaven (1977)

The Killjoys recorded a total of four songs in a 'proper' studio for Raw Records, plus two Peel Sessions... before the birth of Dexys
Some folks say that this is the first 'Hardcore' song... it was certainly one of the most ferocious recordings of 1977

MAGIC MICHAEL/CAPTAIN SENSIBLE/RAT SCABIES 'MILLIONAIRE' (1980)
A cracking tune from my feral youth from the days when bands would mix with all kinds of lunatics in the recording studio and have a laugh. Magic Michael has a history stretching back to the Hippie days of early Glastonbury and Hawkwind gigs.

MAGIC MICHAEL/CAPTAIN SENSIBLE/RAT SCABIES 'MILLIONAIRE' (1980) A cracking tune from my feral youth from the days when bands would mix with all kinds of lunatics in the recording studio and have a laugh. Magic Michael has a history stretching back to the Hippie days of early Glastonbury and Hawkwind gigs. Never heard that one before - from 1980 according to Discogs which also states... Former Damned bass player Algy Ward in an 2003 interview: "The Damned and Magic Michael had the same mis-management (ha! ha!) at the time and Michael needed a band to record some songs. So after we got the money (!!!!) we recorded four songs of which two were released (at Sound Suite Studios where we recorded the backing tracks for The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette: 'Melody Lee', 'Burglar', 'Looking For Another (Teenage Dream)', 'Arnold Layne', 'Happy Rat', 'Edna's Tune', whatever that turned out to be?). The Magic Michael single was greeted with critical disdain, but we got paid..." |
