RELEASE DATE

First time reissue of the 1977 debut single of London's punk pioneers
Alternative TV
, originally released on Deptford Fun City Records. The band was founded by
Mark Perry
(editor of the zine
Sniffin' Glue
) and
Alex Fergusson
(member of
Psychic TV
years later). Early rehearsals took place at
Throbbing Gristle
's studio with
Genesis P-Orridge
on drums. The line-up of the band during the recording of this single was completed with drummer
John Towe
(ex-
Generation X
) and
Tyrone Thomas
on bass, sporting a straight-forward-y punk sound that eventually would evolve into a more experimental direction in the following years. "How Much Longer" is a sharp critique of punk style: "How much longer will people wear/ Nazi armbands and dye their hair?/ Talk about anarchy, fascism and boredom/ When you don't know nothing," that anticipated their own boredom towards the punk scene. An absolute must have!
