Day 236

Few things suggested by Al:

The Freeze - "I Hate Tourists"

Perfect song for the summer.

Punishment of Luxury - "Brain Bomb"


Uriah Heep - "Bird of Prey"

Keyboard/piano player Ken Hensley turns 66.

Madness - "One Step Beyond"

Bass player Mark Bedford turns 50.

Let's continue with some other stuff put out (originally) by Stiff Records. "Buy" was the prefix used for their singles.

Nick Lowe - "So It Goes"

Buy 1. Closer to Power-pop or Pub Rock?

The Pink Fairies - "Between the Lines"

Buy 2. They weren't singing about driving in a straight line.

Richard Hell & the Voidoids - "Blank Generation"

B-side of Buy 7. Likely a different version than this.

Motorhead - "Leaving Here"

Buy 9.

The Damned - "Neat Neat Neat"

Buy 10.

Elvis Costello & the Attractions - "Less than Zero"

Buy 11.

The Adverts - "One Chord Wonders"

Buy 13.

Elvis Costello - "Alison"

Buy 14. A-side.

Elvis Costello - "Welcome to the Working Week"

B-side.
