One time member of Pink Fairies & original guitarist for Motorhead, Larry Wallis gives 2 rocking slightly punky cuts from 1977 of the famous STIFF label. Good shit here. Motorhead fans will know On Parole. I've been hunting this one down a while now and just unearthed a copy on the cheap.

Thanks for sharing this!
i read Cosmic Hearse too...
yeah? good for you anonymous...
Yeah, coincidences never happen. Ever.
Bitch, please . . .
Nice get...
One of the highlights of the Stiff catalogue. I lost count at BUY 34 - Wreckless Eric's "Take the K.A.$.H" - but by that time I started skipping more than just school.
Great to see the label pics too.
When this came out, you might be surprised to know, it got a huge amount of airplay on Glasgow's most commercial radio station: Clyde 261.
By the way, Devil Dick, is that a US pressing, d'you know ?
The UK Stiff labels of this I have seen were the white logo on black, black and white split. As per the SEEZ LPs.
My own copy of Ian Dury's "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" 45 was (is) the same full white logo on grey, as here. I cannot recall if it was a European imprint, France or NL maybe.
All my Damned shit is the (very R. Crumb like hand rendered logo) white on black semi circle.
Anyway. I am being anal. Apologies for the lurking.
