Release Notes:

2009 digitally remastered edition of the only ones debut
album, originally released in 1978. it comes with three bonus
tracks. the only ones were a band that became identified with
the punk scene largely because leader peter perrett had a
funny voice and could write a great straightforward rock and
roll song at a time when such virtues were possessed almost
exclusively by the faster-and-louder brigade. this helps
explain why the only ones' self-titled debut album is regarded
as a classic of the first wave of uk punk despite the presence
of the midtempo jazz-accented 'breaking down'; the '50s pop
moves of the opening cut, 'the whole of the law'; 'the beast,'
which sounds like some sort of lethargic neo-boogie; and the
graceful semi-acoustic semi-samba 'no peace for the wicked.'
of course, when the only ones felt like rocking out, they did
it brilliantly, and along with the instant classic 'another
girl, another planet,' this album includes the sinister but
rollicking 'city of fun' and the feedback-drenched crunch of
'the immoral story,' which points to another factor that made
the only ones heroes in their day - their eclecticism was
rooted in a genuine talent for embracing different sounds
rather than the inability to pick a style and master it.
perrett and his bandmates - john perry on guitar, alan mair on
bass, and mike kellie on drums - sound like a tight and
imaginative combo even when they're surrounded by keyboard and
horn overdubs, and perrett's tales of one guy's search for
love and coherence in a fractured world are intelligent,
witty, and deeply cutting at all times. if the creative
ambition of the only ones sometimes comes at the price of a
tight stylistic focus that would make these songs cohere
better, every track is memorable in its own way, and these ten
songs always have heart, soul, and honesty to spare - and if
that isn't always the benchmark of punk rock, it's at least in
the neighbourhood.
