This great record is a little bit misterious and i'm not sure about the song names. I found them in the web. Some rumours say that's the same band with another singer as the band who feature on the "Mods Mayday 79" compilation. You know more ? The music is strong influenced by the mighty "The Jam". Love it !

Side a: Me and Bobby Magee
Side b: Suzy D

A good remake of a Kris Kristofferson hit-tune on the a side and a cool self-penned powerpop number on the b side! The band was from the Nothern Irland area and this was their lone release on the famous irish label "Rip Off Records".

The good people of "Sing Sing Records" in New York will release a compilation of "Rip Off Records" in November with all the hits and unreleased stuff. So watch out for this !
