The title track reveal what I suspect what this band was really all about: bad pub rock jumping on the punk bandwagon. But I can’t deny that the flip Grammar School Girls is a catchy Stranglerish punk ditty with piano. Love it.
And what makes me love this even more is the fact that 77punk.co.uk wrote this:”To top it all, they resort to that most base of rock’n’roll tricks of roping in some topless model to help flog the single.” Sure it’s a simple trick but there’ve been worse: all these bands “looking” punk to trying to sell their shit.

Good decision not doing the A-side, terrible, isn’t it? “Grammar School Girls” is a bit better though.
Yeah the a-side is really really bad. Grammar… on the other hand.
Is there no chance to get the A-side?
For those of you who don’t know, Page 3 Girls feature everyday in that toilet of a UK newspaper called The Sun. Garry Bushell was also a ‘journalist’ there. Probably still is, for all I care.
