A post-Pistols Glen Matlock teaming up with Midge Ure & Rusty Egan to make one of the most 'classy' of Punk/New Albums.'Ghosts' & 'Rich Kids' stand out as punk air-guitar friendlies whilst the future Ultravox singer puts frenzied passion into songs such as 'Marching Men' & 'Lovers & Fools'. A couple of fillers obviously (it was 1978) with Cheap Emotion/Bullet Proof Lovers.Considering the band were only together for a short time before moving on(Ultravox, Visage, Solo),the album is professional,loud & not too over produced. If you like your Pistols/Clash/Stranglers I recommend you give it a go; you might not have liked them in '78 (they did play on Blue Peter after all!)but you'll love it now.

I absolutely *love* this album. It never fails to have me leaping around the room like a teenager. Of course nowadays that would lead to me seeking immediate medical attention.
It is a wonderfully bonehead melding of the Bay City Rollers and Punk, when nobody actually needed such a thing. The lyrics are suitably frivolous. Their image, a mistake to put it mildly, was to wear t-shirts with the most ridiculous balloon-like trousers. The grungy sound actually better fits the guy on the cover - greasy rocker with no social skills.
I can't recommend this album enough. The way the guitar goes off-key at the end of "Burning Sounds" never fails to make me laugh out loud.
Now, whatever happened to the Berlin Blondes?
