Plugz second 7inch where released sleeveless in 1979 and then with this white version in 1981 and later on with a yellowish variant. I might be wrong so feel free to correct me. Achin is to my ears the best song The Plugz ever recorded. A total masterpiece from start to finish with top notch production. So wish they could’ve made it sound like this on the Electrify Me LP which has load of great songs but a production that don’t make them justice I think. La Bamba might be fun if you droll over punky remakes of classic songs that just suck in the first place. Sleeve made by Gary Panter who’s more famous for The Screamers screaming face logo. Yeah well you knew that. Tada.
