This is a classic in my book. Never considered myself a Kennedys fan but I love this song. I remember hearing it on some faggot-ass Kerrang! compilation CD when I was in Sixth form. That I would later go on to discover Napalm Death had covered this made it even better. There is a few different versions of this pressed by both Subterranean Records and Alternative Tentacles, and I was initially confused with which one I had. I was convinced (as I got it so cheap) that I have a repress, but alas it is an original pressing of the clear sleeve version complete with arm band. Earlier again pressings were on white card, or included a white inner inside the clear plastic. Phew.
I remember buying this at a shit hot little punk shop in Cardiff. There is this shitty antiques hall that is open three days a week which is excellent if you need to pick up a bunch of crap that no fucker else wants, and this little d.i.y. punk label(?) / shop was set up in a cubicle there. I walked passed it a bunch of times but the one time I went in there it was just after Christmas so fortunately I had a bit of money and I was able to buy a nice pile of records. Sadly, the little shop is gone now. What chance has punk against Britian's endless recession?
