The UK release came without a sleeve. The German and this French pressing had different sleeves. Enough geeky info and over to what this post is all about: two killer(how many times is that word used in here?) punk/powerpop tracks. If these tracks dosen’t make you shake some ass then go check your head(or maybe your ass in case you got something up there that shouldn’t be there).
Country: UK
Year: 1980

Great record. Red Bus really dicked them about. They also did a private single, called “Ba Ba Badup”, which never really gets much attention, unfortunately. One of the band now organises things like whenever some old act like Simon & Garfunkel are pulling a million-and-a-half people in Central Park. The band’s main man’s mum can’t reach the top shelf in the house where the ’spare’ singles are. Got a ladder?

Ladder? No only a full bladder. Got to pee. See ya!

Go to the Police is a great song, Breakdown is okay, but I dont’d think it’s as good as go to the police. Over all it’s a pretty good single.

“Go to the police” is fantastic - if somebody doesn´t sing along to this tune, he must be deaf! A perfect mix between Punk and Powerpop…

This brought back memories! I was one of The Toys (bass/harmony vocals). In hindsight we should’ve called ourselves The Bath Toys since that was our home town in those days.
