Buzzcocks- Love Bites (CD)
Famously taking their name from 'It's the buzz, cock', a headline from a Time Out review of 1970s TV music drama Rock Follies, Buzzcocks were formed in Bolton in 1976 by Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto, and kick-started a musical revolution in Manchester having organized and played at the now famous Sex Pistols show at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall in 1976, a show which inspired and spawned the likes of Joy Division, The Fall and The Smiths. Within six months of their debut, Another Music In A Different Kitchen (1978) the band recorded and released it's follow up Love Bites. Again working with Martin Rushent at Olympic Studios, Love Bites was recorded in late July 1978 and released in September of that year. Reaching number 13 in the U.K. album charts, it featured their highest charting single, and arguably best-known song, "Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)." By the end of 1978 not only had Buzzcocks established themselves as one of the leading-lights of punk but proved themselves as deft songwriters capable of producing three-minute-mini-masterpieces that would endure long after the initial spark of punk had faded.
