It’s been a wonderful weekend, I’ve had a great time, and feeling quite ‘up’ for a Sunday evening.

Kinda taken aback to suddenly realise that it is now thirty years since these debut tracks were released. My world’s still shaking from the implications of these…

Is there a rule

for debut singles? I kinda think they should be like a manifesto. After all, it may be the only shot you ever get, so sing it loud and sing it proud…

The Fall -‘Bingo Master’s Breakout!’ mp3

Steel Pulse -‘Ku Klux Klan.’ mp3

Scritti Politti -‘Skank Bloc Bologna.’ mp3

Gang Of Four -‘Damaged Goods.’ mp3

Adam and the Ants -‘Young Parisians.’ mp3

Magazine -‘Shot By Both Sides.’ mp3

This is a cheat, but it was the b-side and just as good as the a-side…

The Cur

e -’10:15 Saturday Night.’mp3

I could also have posted Siouxsie and the Banshees, Kate Bush, P.I.L…

the big question is: will we realise who all the good debut singles of 2008 were by at the end of this year, or in thirty years’ time? Answer below please…
