I bought this single after I heard the late Frisian punkrock band Kobus Gaat Naar Appelscha play it when they were tearing me a new one at the legendary youth club De Harre. Their version can also be found on the All Smooth Faces in a Fantasy World LP. At the time, I preferred Kobus’ one, but I was well ‘ard back then and all I wanted to do was stomp around in some mosh pit exercising my newly bought steel cap Doc Martens. Couldn’t do that to the Les Poppys. Or so I thought.
