The Varukers - E.P.

First E.P. from The Varukers and it's a classic. Bought this after bumping into a couple of punks (a real couple, one male, one female type deal) in the street while on holiday as a kid, one had The Varukers on the back of their jacket, (looking back the paint was probably still wet) the other Discharge. They pointed me in the direction of this fantastic record shop where flicking through the singles I found this. Whenever I pull this single out, I think of that couple as they were really cool with me, even though they would have been quite a few years older than me at the time. I read an article the other day, where someone was talking about how back then, wherever you were, Punks would just start talking to each other in strange towns & cities. It was like that. There was a sense of a Punk community. Within twenty minutes of arriving somewhere you'd suss out where the local Punk's were and you'd be sorted for the night, week, however long. I think the word is Altruism. We need more of it back in our lives.
