[kj] Peter & the Test Tube Babies/The Gonads

[Steve Hackett]

dont think ayone has classed them as oi - just sayin that they were a class 
band from that era along with blitz who did get classed as oi,gbh who were 
just a bunch of pissheads who knew a good (often Motorhead) tune when they 
heard one.
Anyone interested in this sort of stuff get Burning Britain by Ian Glasper - 
fantastic book about punk/oi 80-84 & guess what Vice Squad are the first 
band featured.
