Now this has to be one of everyone's favorite punk records. This is "Menaces" second of five singles released in the late 1970's, and most probably the most famous. They did release a sixth EP in 1999 with a new version of "Carry No Banners" (their fourth single) which you can find at this link at Rollmops excellent blog "GLC" must have one of punks most memorable chorus of all time:
"GLC, GLC, GLC,
GLC, GLC, GLC,
Your Full of Shit,
Shit, Shit, Shit , Shit, Shit"
What's even better in my opinion is the b-side. "I'm Civilised". It starts of with drums,. then
guitar, then a tinny sounding alarm clock (just like the one I used to have) and "Morgan" shouts out "Wake Up and Do Your Time" (I would like to get this programmed into an alarm clock), it made me feel angry in 1978 and I still sometimes feel like I'm doing time when I go to work now.
More etching trivia on this one, on the a-side it has "Fak Arf The World" and on the other side "Don't Worry"
