Nice. Yes, I've just checked Discogs and you are correct they did only release 3 singles.
I also just learnt there is a compilation album that was released in Canada in 2016 called Poets End. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that given half a chance.

Yes, it's a good'un. I didn't realise it goes for that much these days 😱

As I didn't have much money I tended to buy more singles than albums. It was a blessing with hindsight. Still wish I had bought more though. There's a lot that I chose not to get and regret now. I would like to add them to the collection but am reluctant to pay the asking price.

Exactly I bought them to play. It's only the fact that I've had them so long that some of them have become quite collectable.

Thanks. Doing this gives me an excuse to dig them out and give them a play.

No definitely not. I would consider picking up their other singles if I ever saw them. I bought Electric Heat after hearing it on Peel like a lot of stuff.

One of my earliest singles. I think it's the only record that they released.

I was quite partial to Menace back in the day.

Thanks for the info Rich. Until this morning I thought it was worth a tenner at a stretch.

I played it just now. You were right it's better than I remembered. So think I will keep it🙂

Good morning #WeekendSingles crew.

It's rainy (for a change) Sunday. Nothing new again this week (including the weather) so four more from the collection.

Have a good Sunday all.

It was a shock to me when I saw the sticker. Have you any idea what it goes for with the sticker?

Thanks for the heads up about the sticker much to my surprise I do have it😎

Very cool. The Spit Records website is very good as well. Worth a visit for the background history alone.

When I dig it out to check for the sticker I will give it a spin.

Thanks.I've no idea which press I've got I haven't looked at it let alone play it for years.

Thanks. I will check it out.

Interesting stuff. The only one I'm familiar with is Pragvec.

I've got that Chron Gen single had it since it was released. Can't recall getting a sticker with it though. I will have to dig the record out and check.

Brilliant as usual Olly.

Great stuff as usual and once again some new to me.

Great. I wasn't even aware of its existence.

This earlier American book is meant to be excellent as well. Look at the price😱

The Punk bible. I would love a copy but it's harder to get and as expensive as a lot of the singles we have been discussing😂

Yep I used to love playing them rather than sitting listening to an album.

Same as you I much prefer to have a copy of the single. I used to be a bit sniffy about represses but with the extortionate price of the originals they have become an acceptable alternative.

I've not been to many car boot sales it's the early start that does for me😂

To me Punk is synomous with the single. As you rightly say loads of bands only made 1 or maybe 2 between 77-80.

Yes, sadly so. Difficult to find VFM let alone bargains now. Record Fairs can be especially pricey.

Yes, definitely. Trouble is most of them are either hard to find or when you do find them overpriced.
