To be honest I only recall the first track (Blitzkrieg Bop) that we came up with.

Hello,
I was trying to hold this thought back but now seems a good time to state I wouldn't buy the Women's comp.

My fault, I didn't know there was an LP. I'll see if I can pick another track.

I would buy it if it was a RSD release on picture disc. With a very grumpy looking Dr. Medulla on one side and a picture of Heston in full KISS make-up on the flip.revbob wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020, 7:02pmI'll take the vinyl version.Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020, 6:57pm12 x Blitzkrieg Bops.

Great 2nd choice Jenny, still have this on 7" and on a CD Anthology and saw them live in 1981. I had Germ Free down as my 2nd choice for previous round (and it may have done better than my choice of The Slits) and hoped someone else would have nominated Germ Free but no luck. Still there's 2 more rounds and a couple more good X-Ray Spex tracks to consider.

Agreed! And jealous that you saw the Au Pairs live.AudioAmmunition wrote: ↑17 Sep 2020, 5:21amGreat 2nd choice Jenny, still have this on 7" and on a CD Anthology and saw them live in 1981.
