Rare and obscure 7" release from this Leeds based band. This was the bands only release. The A-Side is an ode to the late great Gene Vincent. Late 1978 they changed their name to "2TV" and went onto record a session for the late great "John Peel". In July 1980, it was announced that their debut single would be re-released under the bands new name but it was never pressed.
