Notes

"Editao em Portugal por: PAN-VOX; Lisboa"

A1 mistitled as "Grip" on back sleeve and label
A2 mistitled as "Buddies" on label
B mistitled as "Bitchin" on back sleeve and "Bitch" on label

European bootleg single manufactured to look like a Portuguese release (which it is almost certainly not). Average sound quality.

Three song demo tape recorded at Pebble Beach Studio (30-32 Warwick Street, Worthing, UK) on 11 and 12 July 1976. Demo tape paid for by Andrew Bailey of Bell Records.

All three songs officially released in 1992 on The Stranglers - The Early Years - 74-75-76 Rare Live & Unreleased, a compilation (obviously dubbed from this very bootleg single, the sound quality is still average if not slightly worse!).
