Of course, the thing with faceless punk singles that appear to be one-offs is sort of the point.  Since it can't be streamed, I have to put the 3 spins in dutifully ...

I bought this single in a stack at Intoxica on a visit to London back in 2000 or so.  No hard reason, I knew nothing about the band except they were on Harvest and the record looked cool and reasonably priced in a white sleeve.  That price seems to be worth pennies now in the UK but we still have to pay for shipping here, so the buy that got this got ...
