It was right around the same time the Stray Cats really hit it big that 
Duffy was in Theater of Hate which lasted about a year until the end of '82. 
His style and sound was far more minimalistic during his tenure in ToH, due 
mostly to the fact Duffy was playing music already recorded by the previous 
guitarist (who's name I forget).  Billy didn't really start piling on the 
effects on his sound that moved it a bit closer to Geordie's mid 80's sound 
until the "Love" and "Peace" albums were recorded in '84 - '86.
