This is the most popular song from the Buzzcocks' first self-released album Spiral Scratch. To this day, it is considered one of, if not the most, important albums in punk history. This is due partly to the album being a self-release, sans a backing label - the first punk album to have done so.
Buzzcocks trivia: The band came together when Howard Trafford, then a student at the University of Bolton, placed an advertisement looking for musicians sharing a liking for The Velvet Underground's song "Sister Ray." If you listen to "Sister Ray," it's "a rambling, nodded-out account of sex and murder among junkies and transvestites," in the words of the book The Velvet Underground - An Illustrated History Of A Walk On The Wild Side.
Check the guitar solo for punk authenticity. It's just two notes repeating 66 times, then ending with a single modulated seventh.
