Duffo (real name Jeff Duff) has been producing records since 1974 and still is today. Like many artists he managed to join the 'New Wave' bandwagon. This was his 8th single released on the legendary 'Beggars Banquet' label (home of the Lurkers and Tubeway Army) on 1979. As I used to hang out in the Beggars banquet shop in Richmond, I got most of there releases for free, and this was one of them.A bit of an odd one, and I'll let you decide what you think (leave a comment). The one that makes me laugh is the b-side (not even called the b-side but the Duff side) 'Duff Record', it sings along in a swing style about it being a duff record and Duffo
actually succeeded in making a Duff Record. Brilliant.if you want to know more about Duffo or try some of his new stuff then follow this link to his own web site.

Ha ha, as the impressionable 14/15 year olds that we were at the time, my friends and I thought this was a great record!
Great blog by the way. It brings back memories of my youth, acquiring the latest singles, studying the picture sleeves, looking for that bit of scratched text in the run out... ah, the start of a life long obsession with collecting music.
Good work - keep it up!
Duffo came to tea at my parents' house once. 1980. Nice bloke.
Noy having heard this for 30-odd years, I was really surprised to hear just how Strine he sounded! And yeah, just like anonymous said, this blog brings back some horribly intense memories of buying singles at Penny Farthing in Ilford and then studying the sleeves obsessively! Great stuff...
Thanks for you comment anon, you are so right about it becoming a life ling obsession, I thought as I got older I might slow down with the collecting, but if anything I'm getting worse.
Hi Steve, so come on then, how did Duffo end up coming round your house for tea?
Hi John A, thanks for your comment, its funny I didn't realize how many people like us there actually are. Scary.
