Justifiable Homicide / Take Down Your Fences (The Label 1978)
A song all about Liddle Towers, who died in dubious circumstances in police custody suggesting foul play by the police. Why did this single come about? Who knows. And the friends? Dave Goodman was the Sex Pistols earliest producer of their demos which explains why Paul Cook and Steve Jones feature on drums and guitar albeit incognito. Bass is courtesy of Ian Woodcock from Eater and also on guitars is Ben Brierley from The Front (also on The Label and later in The Vibrators)

And the single? A fine piece of Pistols riffola and not a bad song indeed. Came on red vinyl.

Dave Goodman didn't stop there. If you ever find this going cheap buy it for a laugh. Features snippets of cheesy cover versions of Boredom, Outside View, New Rose, In The City, Career Opportunities and Liar set to a non stop disco back beat in the style in vogue at the time ie Jive Bunny and Stars on 45. Who was the producer of this The Friendly Hopeful's Tribute To The Punks of 76 on Abstract Records ?  Step forward...Dave Goodman. Hilarious!
