 | Rattus Norvegicus: IV by Stranglers
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.69 They had facial hair, could play their instruments and weren't 'proper punks' but I always thought the Stranglers misfit status made them far cooler than the bondage-by-numbers brigade. Muscle Power!

|
 | Real Life by Magazine
Buy used from: £6.00 Always ahead of the pack, Howard Devoto left the Buzzcocks to form Magazine thereby creating brainy punk, where John Barry meets JG Ballard at Eno's house. This and that they must be the same!
