Amazing Buzzcocks [EP]

Available in clear, black and blue vinyl, and possibly red and green.

The front cover of this EP says "I AM THE AMAZING BUZZCOCKS 12" CLEAR VINYL MAXI SINGLE", and on the back is a 7 step list of instructions. The label on the spine of the cover is the same lengthly title as on the front cover, but deletes "I AM".

The black vinyl version deletes "CLEAR VINYL" from the title on the front and back covers, but retains it on the cover spine. The black vinyl version also differs by listing the tracks on side 2 slightly differently.

'The End' is the same as that which follows the album version of 'Pulsebeat'. It starts with the riff from 'Boredom' and becomes a repeating scale and fades out. On the album about 27 seconds of silence separate 'Pulsebeat' and this trailing track, whereas on this EP only a few seconds of silence separate them. 'The End' is listed only on the record label, not on the cover. The time is given as 7:02 for the combined 'Pulsebeat / The End' which is the real length of the album version, but the real length on this EP is only 6:40 due to the lesser amount of intervening silence.

Gez notes:

''The End' and the beeps at the beginning of T.T.T. album are probably Shelley's devising but still done within the Buzzcocks framework.'

Greg Earle notes:

'Hmmn. "Volume" [see Recommended Reading] lists this as "United Artists / Wizard Rec. ZS-12198 12" in clear, blue, red or green wax with pic sleeve 1978". It lists the titles as being "What Do I Get / Fast Cars / Moving Away From the Pulsebeat / The End".'

'I have seen it on clear, blue and black vinyl.'
