Thanks to Road Crew, “Squad” Watts, Pete Williams, John Roden, Simon Hilliard.
Two singles released from the album were the fantastic Night Nurse and the equally good Movies neither were hits but I do remember Night Nurse being played on the local radio rock show.
The album is really a must as it contains so many good songs, Luxury and Swinging With The Reptiles a good new wave songs. My favourite tracks are the wonderful Muscle Culture and Drive Away.
Sadly Steve Fairnie died in 1993

Reposted for you Mr D
Thank you, much appreciated!
If I had money to spare, I’d like to trace the rights and master tapes to some of these records, get them cleaned up and reissued. Technos, Techno Twins… and Espionage too!

Link doesn’t seem to work…
Hhi Chris, new Rapidshare link now working 🙂
I do hope that all you Writz fans are aware that there are some rather brilliant extra videos of the band playing live on a Bristol TV show posted on Youtube, but misplelt as Ritz? I saw them live several times and also booked them to play at my college, “Seale-Hayne” in Newton Abbott back in the earl 80’s. They went down a storm.
