This posting is Captain Sensibles debut single recorded on the Crass label. It is kindly donated by one the regular ASFM visitors Longy, from a request from Bob (another ASFM visitor) comment in the Roxy WC2 posting.I hadn't heard this until Longy sent it, so I've only had a chance play it a couple of times, you can hear the Damned influence on both tracks, and for me the b-side is the best track. It's amazing to think Captain s
Sensible went from this to 'Happy Talk' and 'Wot'. But I guess he was right, getting a No 1# Hit from Happy talk wasn't a bad move

Label: Crass
Year: 1979
Tracks:
1. (What D'ya Give) The Man Whose Gotten Everything
