Every man,woman,child and pet worth their salt loved the Snuff Rock EP back in 1977. It was a fun EP,one big piss-take really although to the likes of a Longy here,it meant something at the time. Music to annoy your parents for a start. Somehow the Bert's landed on German soil circ 1978 and then onto TV so here they are with a cleaned up version of the all the Snuff Rock tracks. Includes a not so famous "impersonation" of The Stranglers. It made me laugh anyway.Dedicated to all gloomy Liverpool supporters,still smarting from their miserable 2 0 defeat at Stamford Bridge yesterday :-)
Edit*
