Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady - Vinyl Record LP
First issued by I.R.S. in 1979 to introduce Buzzcocks to American listeners, Singles Going Steady gathers the Manchester band's run of United Artists A-sides and B-sides into one of the greatest punk compilations ever made. Pete Shelley's lovesick, neurotic songwriting met Steve Diggle's buzzsaw guitars and a rhythm section that never let up, proving punk could be fast, loud and irresistibly melodic all at once.
The first half runs through the A-sides in order, from the cheeky rush of "Orgasm Addict" and the frustrated charge of "What Do I Get?" to "Ever Fallen In Love?", one of the most perfect pop songs of any era, and Diggle's anthemic "Harmony In My Head." The flip lines up the matching B-sides, including "Autonomy", "Noise Annoys" and "Why Can't I Touch It?", which are every bit as essential.
This Domino reissue was half-speed mastered by Barry Grint at Alchemy in London, giving these songs extra punch and clarity. The blueprint for pop-punk, new wave and indie rock, and a must for any punk collection.
