Description

The Zips 7” single Radioactivity

 

"RADIOACTIVITY" Tenement Toons (TEN01) April 1980 (1,000 copies)

A. Side: RADIOACTIVITY

B. Side: I'M NOT IMPRESSED.

 

Condition - Record is excellent and looks unplayed ; the sleeve is slightly creased and has a couple of very small tears at the top opening.

 

The single, “Radioactivity” c/w “I’m not impressed” was recorded at 'Sirocco Studios' in Kilmarnock in an 8 hour session in January 1980 and it’s 1,000 pressing was released on “Tenement Toons”, in April. This time, funding was by Brian’s granny, as a vote of solidarity with the A-side’s “anti-nuke” message. Although the single received a fair amount of airplay, and despite support slots with, amongst others, 'Cockney Rejects', plus exposure at CND/Anti-Nuke rallies, the single did not match the success of the EP and this was reflected in poor sales.
