The Only Ones – Special View

When I was a teenager I was quite fond of buying Mojo magazines, particularly if they had a CD compilation. I still to this day have some copies of those compilations. One stand out was a punk a new wave one. That’s where I first heard the Only Ones.

Normally I have a pretty sharp memory for when and where I bought my records. But this one had me stumped. I have no recollection. I suspect Porthole early on. Like many, I picked it up for the hit single Another Girl, Another Planet. Interestingly, the song was inspired by a woman who looked like she'd stepped out of Fellini film. I decided to give the whole album a proper listen. Not a bad little nugget of English power pop as an overall album.
