Description

The dust cast over England from the great drought of 1976 was not only due to the lack of rainfall, the music industry was also barren. Helped by the gap-toothed Pussycat rubbing the waters of the Missippi into the gaping wounds. Something had to be done. 1977 was that annas mirabilis, the Queens Silver Jubilee year, this was the birth of what was then ” The Spacefrogs”, their first gig at The Wellington (Middlesbrough) was eventful, homegrown first-generation punk in a starved world…. the Spacefrogs were seminal in the North East punk movement. The infamous Middlesbrough Rock Garden (now the Arena) was their “support stomping ground”, the upstaging of established acts started with none other than The Cure, and with fantastic local support frightened off major acts including the Angelic Upstarts, The Rezillos, and The Fall.

This was their first 7″ from 1979, on Paramecium Records reissue. EX/NM
