Why is this labelled as "post-punk" - this WAS the first punk single in the UK?

gaborelectric : sometimes it is. And sometimes it isn't. Last.fm is really inconsistent about this and streams different tracks under the same name. But I stream this song on one of my playlists and usually the correct version comes up for me.

I am so disappointed. this is not the album/single version of New Rose that i knew and loved in 1977. The Damned were good live (I saw their "farewell" gig in about 1978), but listening to this version just ain't the same as the classic first punk single.
