This was Eddie and the Hot Rods fourth single, and their best in my opinion. As I remember the Hot Rods were seen as more of a pub rock type band who slipped into the punk/new wave era. Not surprising when you see the cover of their album and listen to this song.I 'm not sure if this single had a picture cover (mine didn't, and you can see my classy attempt at making my own - a bit punk don't you think?) if anyone has got it then please send me a scan and I will replace. The colour scan is from their album of the same name, which I have used to make this posting look a little
more colourful.

Their "Live At The Marquee" EP was literally a life-altering event for me. I thought: shit, I'm fucking HAVING THAT!
Hey 45 revs, I can understand that, it is an awesome EP, I have never tired of playing those tracks.
Nurse, the screens. I just listened to the DJ copy of this, and... WOW! the extended version of the "Gloria"/"Satisfaction" side is significantly better. Also, there's an edit on the A-side of the stock copies which is IMPORTANT. Everyone should find a copy of the DJ copy and check it out. WOW.
Hey 45 revs I have never heard of the Dj copy is this old or new?
Old. And there's something about it which is extremely important (well, in our little world...). The reprint of the '45 Revs' book (out in about a month) will tell all. It's pretty major. (Well, y'know...)
45 revs is that a shameless plug. :-)
Of course! T-shirts next - big picture of Mario on the front, reading the black 'Bible' version of the book.
I look forward to the sermon.
