Get Out Of This Town/Basement Daze (Barn 2014122) 1978
Never issued in a picture sleeve, this was the final Depressions single before they changed names to The D.P.'s and released two further 7"ers in late 1978. Good band this, featured in Stewart Home's 'Cranked Up Really High' as a classic example of dumb street punk rock for their debut album. They went New Wave after a couple of singles and their eponymous debut, but I have to say the later singles are all growers in my opinion, and even the name change to the D.P.'s and the glossy production of the second album don't take too much away from it in retrospect.
