Buzzcocks to re-release their classic singles as a 7in boxset

 


The Buzzcocks complete run of seven-inch singles released on UA by the classic Shelly-Diggle-Garvey-Maher line-up is being re-released in a boxset.

Starting with Orgasm Addict and ending with Running Free, all the singles have been remastered from the original tapes and come in the original Malcolm Garrett-designed sleeves. The box also contains a 36-page booklet.

The snag lies in the price – a hefty £150. Understandably, many fans have voiced concern, though the band have pointed out that the set is not cheap to produce in relatively small numbers.

Those who still have lovingly-cared-for original singles will probably baulk at shelling out, but you can bet this finds its way onto the Christmas lists of quite a few dads and grandads of a certain age…

Buzzcocks: Complete UA Singles 1977-80 7in boxset is released on 15 January 2021 and can be pre-ordered from Domino Records.

Tracklisting:

  1. Orgasm Addict/What Ever Happened To?
  2. What Do I Get?/Oh Shit!
  3. I Don’t Mind/Autonomy
  4. Love You More/Noise Annoys
  5. Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve?)/Just Lust
  6. Promises/Lipstick
  7. Everybody’s Happy Nowadays/Why Can’t I Touch It?
  8. Harmony In My Head/Something’s Gone Wrong Again
  9. You Say You Don’t Love Me/Raison D’Etre
  10. Are Everything/Why She’s A Girl From The Chainstore
  11. Strange Thing/Airwaves Dream
  12. Running Free/What Do You Know?
