Wonderful debut single from The Adverts, released on the rather eclectic Stiff Records, produced by Larry Wallis from The Pink Fairies. The first ‘punk’ appearance on the long running music TV programme ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’, bass plucker was the rather wonderful and massively gorgeous Gaye Advert (do any girls browse this site? I reckon I could get away with that one!). The band released further class 7″ singles and two very good LP’s. One of the better bands of the late 1970’s, great melodies and very well written lyrics. TV Smith the writer and vocalist is still performing every now and again, and well worth going to see.

February 23, 2008 at 9:59 amYeah, but if we are going to talk about how big Gaye Advert ‘s tits are, shouldn’t “size of dick” be used as well? Along the lines of “Penny Rimbaud or Joe Strummer – which was the biggest prick?”

February 23, 2008 at 11:18 amI’d think that the Strummer and Rimbaud ‘Top Dobber’ match would result in a tie…

Great sentiments in the lyrics of ‘One Chord Wonders’…
and an interesting commentary on it (in a way) on the flipside…
“Hunt like a brave man with a flashlight”

February 25, 2008 at 3:17 pmRemember seeing them play The Marquee once. This German punk kept grabbing hold of Gaye’s leg during their set only to be repeatly booted off by her other leg. It was hilarious to watch, the bloke loved it!
