Buzzcocks
20th January 1978

A cutting from the music press (looks like Sounds typeface could be NME) about delays to the pressing of "What do I get". It seems ironic that they had such problems because of a track called Oh Shit, when the band had 'cocks' in their name and had already had a record called 'Orgasm addict' pressed with no problems!
The single was eventually released on 3 February.

Its probably more ironic that EMI eventually took up the Buzzcocks contract from United Artists and the lack of interest from their A&R department contributed to the bands demise.
