In collaboration with The Beats(The Nerves) Paul Collins the MnMs manage to spit out to girly powerpop pieces with Knock Knock Knock as the clear winner. I’m Tired gets tiresome after a few spins due to the extremly childish girly voice. You know the voice that creeps up on you so much that you just want to punch her in the face. The MnMs only release as far as I know.

Some years later, that single was released in Germany with one more song: a great cover of “My Boyfriend’s Back”.
(Paul Collins didn’t know of the existence of that single until I showed him a copy of it. He got upset when he saw it!, he told me that he wrote one of the songs for the singer of the band who in those days was his girlfriend, but he didn’t know that the band finally released the single)
I’ve always prefered the B-side of this one too. On “I’m Tired” does Marcy sing “staring at my boobs in the mirror” or am i miss-hearing it?
Can anyone confirm the correct release info & tracklisting for this please?
Flex says this was released with My Bofriends Back b/w Knock Knock Knock on Quark,
re-released as My Bofriends Back b/w Knock Knock Knock / I’m Tired on Bomp Records
and again re-released in Germany with 3 tracks.

I know the track “I’m Tired” appeared on the Bomp compilation “Experiments in Destiny” in 1980, but I’ve found no other reference to any other Bomp release of this band.
Collectorscum has I’m Tired b/w Knock Knock Knock but has a 1983 date for the Quark release

And what’s the correct spelling of the band? MnMs? MnM’s? M’n'M’s? M ‘n’ M’s? M&M’s?
Sorry mudcrow, your comment got stuck among the spam cause of the links in your post.
I just know that my copy is on Quark with the songs on it posted here and I think it sez 1979 on the labels but have to double check.
Has this EP been bootlegged? Anyone have any info on this?
Yes. Supposedly it was bootlegged about 2-3 years back. Copies were floating all over eBay for awhile…
I’ve seen copies with blank labels, but they have been around for years.
“You know the voice that creeps up on you so much that you just want to punch her in the face.”
i kind of want to punch you in the face for that.
Thanks :).
