Suzi Pinns - Rule Britannia

Another classic track from the Jubilee soundtrack. Suzi Pinns (aka Jordan) covering the British patriotic song 'Rule Britannia' and a well know hymn 'Jerusalem' in a opera/punk style. It's very different but has always been one of my favourites, and has me singing along in a high pitch voice which I'm sure sounds v bad.

This version whilst same as the album is from the single which was released in 1978.

Jordan must be one of the most well know faces in punk, through 1977 she was in every tabloid or magazine that was published. She was also infamous for being known as the woman who carved 'Fuck' on Adam Ants back with a razor blade.

Band: Suzi Pinns
Label: Polydor
Year: 1978
Tracks:
1. Rule Britannia
2. Jerusalem

Ripped from glorious scratched vinyl:

If you like this then buy the excellent soundtrack to the film, both sides of this single are on it.

Maneaters - Nine To Five 7"

Most probably one of the most overlooked songs from the soundtrack of the film 'Jubilee'. Written (and performed I think) by Toyah Wilcox and Adam Ant this is a 24 carat punk classic. On the b-side another issue of the Suzi Pinns version of 'Jerusalem', I'm not sure how many time this was released but as its also a great song, who cares.

If you have the soundtrack then you have both of these, if not crank up the volume and enjoy.

So should Toyah and Adam Ant partnered more? Leave a comment.

Band: Various
