youtube.com/watch?v=lAwV... #ExitMusic 11 | The Vibrators - Pure Mania - Pulsating opener from second album V2 recorded in 1978 - There is so much going on during the exit , which owes much to the mixing by producer Vic Maile who manages to coax all manner of sounds into this highly listenable tune

Once upon a time this was the coolest carrier bag in town 😉

youtube.com/watch?v=14PK... #ExitMusic 12 | The Damned - Looking At You - Great cover of the MC5 tune from 1979 album ‘Machine Gun Etiquette’ The exit delivers on two counts , firstly, a fab guitar solo from The Captain & second , the organ outro almost serves as an introduction to ‘The Black Album’
