Absolutely fantastic…this is so essential it’s unreal…

Supposedly, John Peel used too keep TWO copies of The Users’ ‘Sick Of You’ single in his legendary record box.

Had some of their unreleased stuff (included herewith) been available on vinyl, I’d keep THREE copies myself !

Hearing The Stooges-like raw power of their ’77 debut in question, I can see why they’re considered for
“one of the most underrated punk bands of all time”

But it’s the unreleased ’79 sessions that really do it for me. Put through their own “pure action art vision”,
‘Listen’, ‘All I Get’ and of course the cover of ‘It’s Not True’ all display an obvious Who influence,

while ‘Now That It’s Over’ might be what Joey Ramone would’ve sounded like while backed by the ‘Pistols, and covering The Who once again.
An ultimate punk rock collaboration anyone... ???
