• Voted (somewhat appropriately) the 16th best LP of the seventies by Pitchfork in 2004, Singles Going Steady in a former life was never even a proper album. It was instead a September 1979 “sampler” that their U.S. label, Liberty, chose to release domestically on the cusp of their first U.S. Tour.

  Before long, though, it would take on a life of its own as a greatest hits of sorts, being issued in their homeland on vinyl in 1981 before, inevitably, appearing on (a long deleted) CD before being reissued in bloated, avoid-at-all-costs form by EMI in 2001. Twas never meant to be thus…

  This new reissue was sourced from the original masters for all the Buzzcock’s first eight singles and B-sides. Half-speed mastered. Now this career-defining compilation at last sounds the way all involved intended! It includes a stunning essay from punk authority Clinton Heylin, and full album download code.
