Punk - Ltd Edition 7" Repress - Superb exact reproduction of the debut (and only) punk single by Johnny and The Self Abusers, originally released on Chiswick Records in 1977. In classic punk style, the band split-up two weeks after this hi-octane debut, only to start a new band called Simple Minds. One-off collectors’ pressing, comes in fold out paper sleeve and specially silk-screened Punk 45 outer sleeve. Johnny and The Self Abusers’ ‘Saints and Sinners’ also features on Soul Jazz Records’ ‘Punk 45: I’m A Mess’, a collection of twisted, raw and energized proto-punk music from the late 1970s.
