For those who want comparisons; I read somewhere: Glaswegians — or should I say Caledonians? Later that year Nov.
That time I drove so was probably knackered. We were only in Europe for a week or so I remember we played Hamburg and the last gig was in Amsterdam followed by a mad dash to the ferry. It was supposed to be an EP but never went any further as I went travelling and everything just ground to a halt. Like I say, of no possible interest to anyone but just for the sake of exactness!

Feb 19, Neil Quinney rated it really liked it. I've enjoyed all of Ian Glasper's punk history books but this is the one that I can relate to most having been around and seeing many of these bands. Some great stories, as always and written with so much enthusiasm that you find yourself wanting to check out the bands you'd never heard of before.
