Decent powerpop from this (maybe ?) London/UK boys. The stronger number is on the b side. Not a bad record. Can't find any infos about the T-Boys.

Side a: Hey kids let's dance
Side b: You don't find love in a supermarket
GER 1982
The a side is a quirky, catchy new wave number and the b side is more a little bit disco/dance music. I think, this is an english band (the names of the members on the labels sounds very english) with a release in germany. I don't know much more.

# 177 The Newtown Neurotics - When the oil runs out

Side a: When the oil runs out
Side b: Oh no
UK 1980
Excellent first single of this extremly underrated band from Harlow/UK. I think The (Newtown) Neurotics were one of the most important bands in the middle of the 1980's for political and social thinking punk bands. I had the pleasure to see the band one time. Still a great band !! Meet the Newtown Neurotics here and here.

First all-black punkgroup from Philadelphia/USA with there one and only release. The a-side is a well known Lee Hazelwood classic. But the b-side is a self-penned number and shows the greatness of this band. In 2008, Welfare Records put out the never released LP, recorded in 1978. Meet the band here.
