It was back in June 2017 when I previously gave a mention to Girls At Our Best!, recalling that I learned of them thanks to Getting Nowhere Fast, being covered by The Wedding Present.
As I mentioned in passing, Getting Nowhere Fast was a self-financed single, released in April 1980 on the band’s own Record Records following which Rough Trade put out a second single entitled Politics in November 1980.
I’ve now tracked down a copy of the sophomore effort:-
mp3 : Girls At Our Best! – Politics
My info, supplied by my big reference book of indie music, was that this came out solely on Rough Trade but it turns out with was a joint release with the band’s own label.
At first listen, I didn’t think it came close to matching the majesty of the debut 45, but it’s proven to be one of those songs that manages to grow with successive listens. I thought it was a song that could firmly be put in the big bundle of twee songs, but in fact there’s a fair bit of an anti-establishment punch being thrown at the antics of those who are out on the stump canvassing votes, with the sinister line of ‘Love to see you smiling when you’re kissing little girls’ delivered with seeming innocence. And if you’re wondering what is being chanted in the background while the chorus rings out, I’m happy to clarify that name checks are given to the USA, CIA, KGB, EEC, FBI, and ICI.
THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Would also recommend the Go For Gold single, which seems to be a rather arch critique of Adam and The Ants, and the follow-up Fast Boyfriends. Their only album strays into tweeness a little too often, presaging some of the cloying crimes to be committed to vinyl by lesser bands in the mid 80s.
Pleasure by GAOB is my go to ‘put a smile on your face’ album!
You’ll have Drew growling with your use of the word Sophomore.
Politics was my first exposure to Girls At Our Best. It was a staple of WNYU radio every afternoon for months after it came out. Brings back a lot of memories when I hear it.
