THE SNIVELLING SHITS - TERMINAL STUPID (1977)
This is the edition with a jukebox centre and injection-moulded labels stating Made in France.
Issued on Ghetto Rockers, a reggae subsidiary of Island Records used to circumvent EMI's control over Island's product, an earlier UK pressing on solid-centre paper labels ran to only a maximum of about 1500 copies as the plant supposedly raised reservations over the band's name.
Thanks to fellow New Musical Express journalist Monty Smith, the record became single of the week on the weekly's 6th August 1977 edition and was hurriedly re-pressed in France in greater quantities and distributed in October, this time with large centre-hole plastic labels and in the same picture sleeve.

This wonderful single was released in Sep. '77 and features Sounds journalist Giovanni Dadomo on vocals. The Snivelling Shits also released the equally brilliant 'Isgodaman' on the 1977 Beggars Banquet comp. 'Streets' but Beggars Banquet had the band change their name to Arthur Comix.
