Only Ones / Big Sleep / Live In Europe 1980

Vinyl Lovers

Although THE ONLY ONES officially disbanded in 1981 after the release of their third album, they have never been forgotten, influencing such bands as the Replacements, Blur, the Libertines, and countless others. In fact, the band has been so deeply influential that many of their songs feel as if they were written yesterday, and hits like “Another Girl, Another Planet” have become genuine rock standards. PETER PERRETT’s witty, but sincere lyrics of love lost, along with a unique musical style that flirted with power pop, new wave, punk, hard rock, made them one of a kind in the thickly populated undergrowth of 77 British punk. This album, recorded live in Europe in 1980, has it all: their best songs played while the band was at its peak, plus five songs never before heard on any other live recording!
