After a song like “Drums Over London” ,they set the high-water mark for a brilliant 1970´s Punk song quite high,so that they only could lose with any of the other songs they recorded. The band,btw,according to the “45 REVOLUTIONS” encyclopedia ,had real bad luck with their record-labels,as all of their 3x 7″s came out with a long delay.
In the late 1980´s,German´s TRUE Punks EA 80 played a show a few miles away from my hometown in a rural place´s Youth-Centre and made a GREAT re-make of “Drums Over London” on-stage. Not many (German) bands would be able to make such a great remake of that D.Z. classic- IMO.

Mary is most remembered for being in Dirty Mags more than anything else in the uk…
Always find the Disco Zombies overrated.

I’d say they’d be super hard pressed to beat either of the other two singles. Huzzah!
