From the blurb in the Big Gold Dreams box set, where, yet again, today’s offering can be found.
mp3: The Drive – Jerkin’ (1977)
” ‘Banned Punks Cut Own Sex Single’ ran one suitably outraged local headline in response to the sole single on NRG Records by Dundee’s opportunistically-inclines quintet led by vocalist Gus McFarlane. With McFarlane and his fellow corrupters of youth named and shamed, the quintet feared their aunties might be scandalised by such publicity and split up shortly afterwards. Too late, alas, as it was picked up by Beggars Banquet for their Streets compilation, where the song could yelp, leer and thrust its lasciviously unreconstructed boogie towards a sudden and possibly premature climax once more. A proposed follow-up, Blow Job/Gonorrhoea Go-Go, mysteriously never showed up.”
Not one I was even aware of until getting hold of the box set. £70 is the asking price for the 7″ via Discogs. I wasn’t tempted……
