Let it be known! I have a VERY soft spot for almost chessy powerpop. P45 is on the right side of chessines. If I recall it right this slab of viny was later released under the band name: Eyes. There’s a copy up at eBay right now: grab it! Never issued in sleeve.
Country: UK
Year: 1980
Label: Jet
Format: 7″
Songs:

The Eyes edition was first, I think – had a nice fold-out p/s. When I contacted the singer he didn’t seem to know about the P45 edition at all!

is this the same tearjerkers p45 that did “teenage love song”
Nah don’t think so. Tearjerkers where from Ireland and P45 where from the UK. I might be wron so this is a call for Steve at Low Down Kids.
I wrote Teenage Love Song in 1978 when I was singer/guitarist with P45. We recorded it for Downtown Radio and it was released on a compilation CD and a sampler called Bloodstains across Northern ireland. I later joined the Tearjerkers and took the song with me. We played it at a lot of live gigs and recorded it fot UTV and for BBc Something Else series. Is it just coincidence that a group from the north coast have called themselves P45 and have a song called Teenage Love Songs??? I hope they are doing really well and making a fortune so that I can claim the royalties and retire to Spain in my old age!!!
