Was a huge buzzcocks fan from the outset even though I was only 12 when spiral scratch came out. Finally got to see them in October 1979 at the Sheffield top rank. Got to the door, shaking with excitement, with my ticket and th bloody doorman refused entry because I was too young. So I quite rightly burst into tears! Luckily, the bloke took pity on me and let me in - as long as my dad, who was with me, went in too .. (sorry, dad!). Truly blew my little mind. (Support not bad either ... an up and coming Postpunk band by the name of Joy Division...wonder what happened to them?) Buzzcocks the greatest pop-punk band ever by a country mile but have never really received the credit and respect they deserve... they defined the ‘indie’ guitar band sound that became the mainstream in the 1990s and is still hugely important RIP PETE X

Late 1976: I go nto my local record store (.025 miles from home) I buy ELO's "Living Thing," and an EP by this unfathomable band called" The Buzzcocks. The "Spiral Scratch."EP changed my life. I was confused, but it was apparent that this record would guide me across many a boundary to come. Late 1979, The Buzzcocks are among the last of the UK explosion bands to make it to NYC. Even The Clash didn't make it for a few months hence. I am re-arranging my life to see my beloved Buzzcocks. My friend insists that I don't sleep on the opening act. He wants to be certain that I will get there, share what he has seen. September 1979. Opening act? Gang Of Four.
