This is the debut single of Wellington, New Zealand’s The Steroids. Released in 1980 on their own White Light Records. It is also the debut recording of Alan Jansson. Who, two years after playing guitar on this record was ‘Pulsing’ all over the radio with his new band The Body Electric. In 1995, he scored a worldwide hit as the producer and co-writer of OMC’s multi-million selling How Bizarre. But this is a great example of an early self-released New Zealand punk record.

Hey, I used to see the Steroids back in the day, and wound up buying the Rickenbacker 4001 bass that features so much in Mr Average. Still got it, 30 years later, you can see it in this video...
