    Exhibit #76:

    Guns’n’Wankers (Joolz Dean, Duncan Redmonds, Patrice Walters):

    Julie stands beside the window
Head full of additive
Sophie wants an explanation
Julie says she's none to give

Julie's got some time
but she's not taking much more
A little bit (a little bit)
more than she bargained for

Sophie's in two minds, 
she's busy making it four
Ask a simple question
the answers might just follow on

So she asks about her lover
tiny kicks internally
Julie talks of aspirations
hiding from reality

Julie's got some time
but she's not taking much more
A little bit (a little bit)
more than she bargained for

Sophie's in two minds, 
she's busy making it four
Ask a simple question
the answers might just follow on

You don't get the picture
I have to level with you
should have left it as it was

You thought the grass was greener
your imagination lied
It was just a dream
and your dreams don't count
When the real world comes around

Julie stands beside the window
Head full of additive

Julie's got some time
but she's not taking much more
A little bit (a little bit)
more than she bargained for

Sophie's in two minds, 
she's busy making it four
Ask a simple question
the answers might just follow on

    Guns'n'Wankers - POP EP (Rugger Bugger Dump 020, 1994)
    Guns’n’Wankers – POP EP (Rugger Bugger Dump 020, 1994)

    This is so sweet, this is a perfect summer cheer-up! And, record collectors unite, it came as a 3 EP Set (“Pop”, “Metal” and “Hardcore”) although in debateable packaging (but those acustomed to Snuff’s output just nodd that off).

    Verdict:

    1977 – Yes, sure. Direct link to PowerPop!
    published by a cool lable – Rugger Bugger was home for some awsome stuff from UK!
    found in a cool shop – ticked, again Martin Stehr’s Drugstore
    catching sound – Guitarwork seldom done that smart and catchy, catchy, catchy!
    not too bad words – as with Snuff, obscure and hard to read from the lyric sheet.

    It seems to be a lovestory though so right on track:

    Guns’n’Wankers were a interim something driven by Duncan Redmonds when Snuff disbanded for the first time in 1991 – as with many bands someone should have made them BIG, even against their own wishes. They deserved it!
