Victimize - Baby Buyer Repost

Another repost, and this time Andy Johnson, Victimize guitarist has added some extra information to some of the earlier comments, and more importantly has left information that this single plus their second single with booklet sleeve is now available on CD directly from Andy. So if your interested:
1. Go to the comments
2. Follow the link via Andy's name to his blogger profile
3. Then click on his email link and start talking

Another donation from Paulspizzle, so leave a comment and thank him for submitting this little gem. Originally named 'Red alert and the Rejects' from Wales (Barry) and formed in 1976, changed their name to Victimize in 1978 and released 'Baby Buyer as their debut single.

Baby Buyer was refused radio airplay due to the lyrics, and 'Hi Rising Failure' was played instead, which in my opinion was the better of the two tracks anyway. 'Baby Buyer' is a classic example of late seventies punk, the b-side 'Hi Rising Failure has a brilliant simple catchy riff that get stuck in your head and you just have to keep playing it.

So which one do you like best? Leave a comment.

Band: Victimize
Label: IME
Year: 1979

1. Baby Buyer
2. Hi Rise Failure
