RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON SIRE 1979 Sire SRK 6071 made in Uk with text inner sleeve. Vinyl NM. Cover EX. The Undertones slam-bang punk-pop drew its strength from one simple fact: you didn't need a secret handshake to enjoy it. John and Damian O'Neill mated infectious guitar hooks to '60s garage, '70s glam rock, and Feargal Sharkey's signature vocal quaver. Those qualities came together on their breakout hit "Teenage Kicks," whose simplicity harked back to '60s ideals of when the song was king.The Undertones formed in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1976. However, they avoided references to their hometown's sectarian strife for "more songs about chocolate and girls," as their second album phrased it. But gigs were scarce in a scene dominated by show bands, and the boys felt sufficiently discouraged to consider quitting -- until Belfast record shop owner Terry Hooley released the Teenage Kicks EP on his Good Vibrations label in September 1978. theundertones.com/_/Home.html Tracklist A1 Teenage Kicks A2 Smarter Than You A3 Emergency Cases A4 Family Entertainment A5 Girls Don't Like It A6 Male Model A7 I Gotta Getta A8 Wrong Way A9 Jump Boys A10 Here Comes The Summer B1 Get Over You B2 Really Really B3 She Can Only Say No B4 Billy's Third B5 Jimmy Jimmy B6 True Confessions B7 (She's A) Runaround Written-By – John O'Neill B8 I Know A Girl B9 Listening In B10 Casbah Rock B11 Mars Bars
