      The B side of this is so much like "Too Late Too Late" by Motorhead to be well - not a coincidence. I still like it though.

        I'm not Steve but I saw her live. Good cheesy fun on stage from chainsaws to shotgun.

          I have one of these with the A side label on BOTH sides of the record, yet the record plays both correct sided songs

            Does anyone know whether this is the same recording that was issued in 1978 or is this a re-recording?

              If you are inclined to check out The Plasmatics just for the outrage factor, this single is a good place to start (and perhaps end). The vinyl provides the only beauty here, looking like Brach's nougat candy. The tracks are primordial thrash - whether you would want to call it called thrash punk or thrash metal is a tossup to me. The finished product is heavily laced with the sonic bludgeon of Wendy O. Williams guttural vocals. In spite of being familiar with The Ramones already, I can't recall ever hearing anything this fast at the time! But don't look for their black humor here. The end result is fast, exhilarating noise garnished with paradoxically depressing and dismal subject matter. Rod Swenson managed to create outrage and even some heavy-handed social satire - but at what cost?
