 Discography Part 2 
For quite a while the Rezillos set consisted purely of high octane cover versions of established songs.. Gradually Callis introduced self penned songs into the sets all displaying comic and ironic charm coupled to great catchy melodic punk (or call what it you will). When this was allied with the stage antics of Eugene and Fay it was an explosive mixture that couldn't help but move audiences and bring success.
I Can't Stand My Baby/I Wanna Be Your Man (Sensible Records 1977)

Signed to Lenny Love's Sensible label this is up there with the finest punk wax artefacts. Piledriver riff with Faye's almost detached vocals nestling on the top. "This is uncool..." Tell me this isn't punk rock at its finest?

Good Sculptures/Flying Saucer Attack (Sire 1977)

Everything great about the Rezillos is in this song.  Great tune, bass line and lyrics about a manic love sculptress. Sadly not a hit. Their first for Sire Records.

Cold Wars/Flying Saucer Attack/ Twist & Shout
(all live) (Sire 1978)

Another excellent single that sadly bypassed the charts. Another song hot shot producer Tony Bongiovi  wanted off the album. Certainly some similarities in Sires promotion in terms of comic book themed record covers with Top Of The Pops.
Top Of The Pops / 20,000Rezillos Under The Sea ( Sire 1978)

That a piss take on the famous music show should earn them their- biggest hit and an appearance on the show itself is irony indeed. A perfect pure pop punk song. Irony indeed that Tony Bongiovi their producer wanted to leave this track off the album.
