Nice Powerpop EP by the Sleepers from Nottingham and the band consisted of Barry (vocals), Carl (guitars), John (bass), Graham (drums) and they released this superb record on BAT Records and the title track is their hymne for which they are known. 500 copies were pressed without sleeve and Queen Mum Records re-released this little nugget 2018 in different colors, each limited & already out of print. They recorded a demo in 1981 and sent it to labels, but they paid little attention to it and ignored it (as with so many bands, some of which are very sought-after classics today), money-hungry morons! Another better demo was recorded but this was not sent to anybody (later released as 7Inch). After many months of travelling, many poorly paid gigs around the country, the Sleepers continued in various forms for a couple of years but didn't really achieve the heights of the early days and by 1984 the band had split. That is their inheritance: four brilliant goodies that the world needs.
