Music was becoming more and more important in my life. I was beginning to search out new music instead of just getting it from Top of the Pops and the Chart Show on Radio 1.

It came in a tin. It is simply amazing. A landmark in post-punk music.

I love Magazine. They were introduced to me by someone I briefly knew. I can't even remember his name, but he also introduced me to the Dead Kennedys before moving to another town.

This album has the best album cover ever. The music lives up to it as well. I can remember carrying this album around without a poly bag, just so that people could see me with it.

I used to have a C90 cassette with this album on one side and Dragnet on the other. I taped it from a mate and was devastated when it got chewed up in a cheap tape recorder.

I love how this album's cover does not prepare you for what is inside.

This is a wonderful album with some great tracks. I really like the way the cover artwork was put together.

The reggae beats are really coming through here. This was another popular band during our music 'lessons' at Arbroath Academy.

I cannot believe that I am adding this album to the site. It is such a classic album. It was released in the same year as Live at the Witch Trials and has such great tracks as Psykick Dancehall, A Figure Walks and Flat of Angles. The cover is amazing as well.

Nobody remembers the Only Ones other songs. But as John Cooper Clark says there is no such thing as a bad Only Ones' song.
