Will never forget their concert in Kant Kino Berlin. When fans requested an extra song the answer was: "we're running out of numbers!" Great song, still and forever. And more on their (only?) album.

Should have been a top ten back in the day, I imagine the bbc didn't like the connotations so played it down and censored it.

Had the album in 1979, still play it today, good few recordings on it, Stepping Stones, Changing with the times good tracks, and of course The Shape of Things to come, saw them on swap shop, crackerjack, maybe blue Peter! Still great record now, it's a shame tracks like these never played on radio, And yes top of the pops

This band appeared during the first wave of Punk Rock, they should have been a lot more famous than they are now. They're like a version of 'The Jam' meets 'Squeeze'. My advice to them in 2022, get your lads back together and play the 'Rebellion Festival' in Blackpool, we'd gladly buy tickets to your gigs.
