Runnin' Riot / Sister Suzie (Decca 1977)
And so it was welcome to Decca for our lovable hooligans  with this little paean to running amok and, if you were lucky, featuring a very scarce picture sleeve of a pitch invasion by football fans.  Extremely catchy as is the b-side Sister Suzie. Punk or souped up Slade? Who cares! Interesting lyrics tho not quite Anarchy In The UK... "I can't stand the peace and quiet...All I want is to be running riot." Yes indeedy!

We Love You/Chip On Me Shoulder ( Decca 1977)
"Politely rocking powerchords and a thick cockney brogue on the old Stones psychedelic turkey by a bunch of skinheads, do not a worthwhile 12 inches make. Nor probably seven inches." Paul Rambali NME 12/11/77

Bit unfair on the boys here. Both are sides are rollicking good punky Slade style sing a long a yob. Why did Decca release this as a 12"?
