Steve Diggle's Harmony In My Head - Review by Cardinal Cox

The Buzzcocks were one of the most important bands to emerge from the British punk era in the 1970s. They were masters of writing and performing catchy angst-ridden melodies, and songs such as 'What Do I Get', 'Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)', and 'Everybody's Happy Nowadays' have lasted the test of time - unlike most of the punk/New Wave material from the late '70s.

- Paul Rance/Peace & Freedom Press.

Singles Going Steady Amazon.co.uk Review
The Buzzcocks were proud proponents of late-1970s punk rock, with a name designed to shock and song titles like "Oh Shit?" and "Orgasm Addict" (both of which appear on this singles collection) . But in retrospect, it's easier to see what else they accomplished--some of the catchiest, most provocative pop singles ever. Pete Shelley expressed heartbreak and frustration ("Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?" goes the catchy chorus on their biggest hit) without falling victim to lovey-dovey clichés. This definitive 1979 collection nicely captures the Manchester quartet's tight melodies, economic writing and appropriately fast pace. --Steve Knopper

Singles Going Steady Description
The Buzzcocks emerged from Manchester's thriving punk enclave with a succession of startling pop singles. Tight melodies and highly memorable hooklines were enveloped in a breathless group sound full of purpose and drive which contrasted with singer Pete Shelly's dispassionate, almost throwaway, delivery. These eight singles, both a-sides and flips, covered a variety of subject matter, from masturbation ('Orgasm Addict') to 1981 nuspeak ('Everybody's Happy Nowadays'), without recourse to obfuscation. Such seminal recordings have ensured the Buzzcocks' place in a lineage just a bit below the Kinks and the Smiths as one of the best purveyors of the 45 rpm.
