Peter Shelley and Howard Devoto were two Manchester kids who reading through the music papers way back in 1975/76 came upon stories about the fledgling Sex Pistols. I think it was Shelley but maybe Devoto--a friend of his had gone on a trip and left him the keys to his car. So these two knuckleheads made a trip to London to see the band and got in a conversation with Malcolm McLaren who told them if they could rent out a venue and find a support band or two he'd be glad to come up to Manchester since the Pistols were being banned from venues all over London anyway. So Shelley and Devoto--two musical novices decided to form a band they called the Buzzcocks and they rented out the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester and there were two shows about two/three months apart. The first attended by about 50 people including Steve Diggle who soon after joined the Buzzcocks, Mark E. Smith original member of the Fall, both Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner--who form Joy Division, Morrissey and several others who went on to form other bands. I think Ian Curtis showed up for the second show. About 50 people and about 8 bands came out of that first concert. Anyway there's a book on that.

Anyway I have that record too. I don't know what happened to Black Flag's Damaged. That one disappeared on me along with a couple others. I have the first Minutemen lp.....not that one. That would be a nice one to have though.
