We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It - What's The Point 12"



So here's the final single from the first album which wasn't followed by the next single, "Internationa Rescue" until a full two years later. Listening back to this, I think that a reinvention was a necessity rather than an option, as the backup tracks are truly horrendous. For those that want them, however, here are the Fuzzbox versions of "Fever" and (god help us) "Bohemian Rhapsody". Even more excruciating is the spoken word "skit" "Fuzzy Ramblings". Fucking Hell.

The extended Version of "What's The Point" is great, however.

Vinyl rip at 320 Kbps.

Link Expired.

I've also uploaded the Bostin' Steve Austin album in all its glory over at Spinster's Rock.

Hi NM

You haven't got the Rules and Regulations/XX Sex EP have you????

Thank you! My wife loved this band growing up. It was one of the two albums her parent (who are very liberal normally) decided to confiscate. They had no idea a fuzzbox is also a name for a guitar pedal.

I think I have somewhere ximeremix, it's just a question of finding the fucker. Which I tried to do last Wednesday. For two hours. Don't hold your breath.

lol Tony. My Mum had a similar reaction as I recall. I had a mate whose Mum threw out his Buzzcocks singles, although that's possibly less of a euphemism and more of a statement. One of the best band names ever if you ask me...
