Rating:  - Great introduction to a great band
Singles Going Steady is a great compilation of songs that span the most important years of this band's career.

Superior melodic pop - some of Shelley's and Diggle's finest work. Essential to any undertanding of UK punk and pop music of the late 70's early 80's.
