If you think Never Mind the Bollocks and London Calling are punk masterpieces, then there's no question that you need to hear Singles Going Steady . Manchester's legendary Buzzcocks were one of the best, most influential punk bands. Pete Shelley and company combined full-blast guitars, ear-catching melodies and social/romantic contents. This essential collection originally released in 1979 contains their masterpiece Ever Fallen In Love? . Original artwork, gatefold sleeve, 180 gram vinyl.
