Track 0234: VIVA BOBBY JOE (Grant) 3:43 (BLITZKRIEG BOP) (18th February 1978)
Musicians: John Hodgson, lead vocals, backing vocals, electric organ, Ray Radford – guitars, Mick Hylton – bass guitar, backing vocals, Alan Cornforth – drums, backing vocals
Recorded: Berry Street Studios, London (16 track) Produced by Bill Farley & Blitzkrieg Bop.
The bands gigs in March had risen in prestige, after a 3rd visit to The Tropicana in Whitby on the 4th, we had three gigs with Generation X, at Newcastle University on the 11th, Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt on the 12th, and finally on the 16th at Rafters, Manchester, prompting Billy Idol to exclaim upon our arrival “Not you fuckers again!”
We had just missed out on supporting Generation X for the whole of their tour, but plans were in place for us to embark on a national tour with Slaughter & The Dogs commencing at the end of April. In the meantime I found time to get Purity back together for a recording session which takes up the next thirteen tracks.
