Buzzcocks, Magazine are no exception and as a huge fan of these bands I have to have my fair share.
I will feature a number of these throughout this blog.
My first is this early Buzzcocks recording with two shows both recorded in 1976. As you can imagine the quality isn't the greatest but nonetheless they are extremely important in the evolution of Punk Rock and the Buzzcocks and Howard Devoto.
Two great shows feature on this disc as follows;
SCREEN ON THE GREEN - LONDON 29TH AUGUST 1976
01 BREAKDOWN
02 FRIENDS OF MINE
03 I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF
04 I LOVE YOU BIG DUMMY
05 LESTER SANDS
06 LOVE BATTERY
07 OH SHIT
08 ORGASM ADDICT
09 PEKING HOOLIGAN
10 TIMES UP
11 YOU TEAR ME UP
ELECTRIC CIRCUS MANCHESTER 9TH DECEMBER 1976
01 ORGASM ADDICT

I wrote the only book on buzzcocks and during my research spent a night with Howard talking about the 11 gigs he did with the band. He was fascinating and in many ways strange.
