Well, we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speech
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say

    Yeah, the "New Wave" LP with the red sleeve, £2.45 I think? Some fine tracks...and a few strange ones. Oh and the video? (presumably the 'Old Grey Whistle Test': Bob Harris, "Mock Rock" and 1,000s falling in love with The Dolls and even more in hate with the hippie-tart presenter? Great stuff. )

    ...first heard this is on a VA vinyl album in 1977 called NEW WAVE. It also featured the Ramones, Dead Boys, Patti Smith, The Runaways, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, and Talking Heads.....I sold it after taping it not knowing it's importance until many years later.....
