Notes

This is the original 1977 New Hormones release with the following specifics:
• No “With HOWARD DEVOTO” under the band name on the front cover
• The label address is printed at the bottom of the back cover
• The record itself has a moulded plastic label
• Most of the information is stamped into the runout area (as opposed to inscribed)

The label reissued the record in 1979 with different characteristics than above and a slightly simpler label design (see entry here).

All recorded 'live' at Indigo Sound Studio in Manchester, England. Dec 28 1976 on 16 track.

Short intro

Spiral Scratch by the Buzzcocks 1977 0:00 Breakdown 1:59 Time's Up 5:06 Boredom 7:57 Friends of Mine. It was released on 29 January 1977. It is one of the earliest releases by a British punk band preceded by The Damned's New Rose in October 1976, and both the Sex Pistols' Anarchy in the U. and the first two singles by The Vibrators in November 1976. The EP is the only Buzzcocks studio release with original singer Howard Devoto, who left shortly after its release to form one of the first post-punk bands. Spiral Scratch - EP. Alternative 1977.

Spiral Scratch's hand-pressed, blurry black-and-white sleeve housed four tracks - each one a uniquely compelling experience, marrying raw, youthful zest with belligerent intelligence. The EP's release achieved several things at once. It opened up the independent scene, making . labels the natural springboard for aspiring musicians. Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch EP 1977.

Breakdown Scratch-the four-song debut EP on which Boredom appeared-was a revelation. British punk rock was brand new at that point: when Spiral Scratch was released on January 29, 1977, the Sex Pistols Anarchy in the U. was barely two months old, the Damned, the Vibrators, and the Stranglers had some singles out, and that was it. All those bands were signed to at-least-sort-of-legitimate record labels. Meanwhile, the Buzzcocks scraped together the funds to have 1000 copies of Spiral Scratch pressed themselves, and called their otherwise nonexistent label New Hormones.
