While the albums that make up the Buzzcocks‘ sacred late-’70s trilogy (Another Music In A Different Kitchen, Love Bites, and A Different Kind Of Tension) are all must-hear masterpieces in their own right, the Buzzcocks were, first and foremost, the premier singles band of Britain’s early punk movement. Therefore, no ‘Cocks collection–hell, no record collection, period–can be complete without their A-sides compilation Singles Going Steady, which not only sounds as fresh in 2001–the year of the Manchester band’s 25th (!) anniversary–as it did in 1979, but in fact sounds much more vital than some bordering-on-parody works by such better-known punk peers as the Damned and (yes) the Sex Pistols.
