Voted (somewhat appropriately) the sixteenth best LP of the seventies by Pitchfork in 2004, 'Singles Going Steady' in a former life was never even a proper album. It was instead a September 1979 ‘sampler’ that the Buzzcocks US label, Liberty, chose to release domestically on the cusp of their first US Tour.
Before long, though, it would take on a life of its own as a greatest hits of sorts, finally being issued in their homeland on vinyl in 1981 before.
