DONKEES - Listen To Your Radio 7'' 1981

Now we come to a nice powerpop single from the Donkeys, a four piece from Wakefield, West Yorkshire that consisted of Neil (vocals/lead guitar), Tony (rhythm guitar), Dave (bass), Mark (drums) and they debuted in June 1979 with the What I Want 7'', initially released independently before being picked up by Deram - an indie-to-major process that was subsequently repeated with Don't Go, which resulted in a deal with MCA. I think, I posted their other famous singles in my deceased blog anno XXXX but since these cannot be found, so comes their last single now. They released five singles during the period 1979 to 1981. In 2004 a retrospective double album, Television Anarchy was issued, by Detour Records with all their recordings, plus alternative versions and previously unreleased material.... is worth buying.
