The Long Goodbye - Newtown Neurotics Live crdvd106The first ever DVD to feature one of the great English Punk bands of all time - Newtown Neurotics. Hailing from Essex, the Neurotics combined their punk rock with a strong political slant. Their debut singles, 'Hypocrite' (1979) and 'When The Oil Runs Out' (1980) appeared on their own No Wonder label and instantly gained the band a fanbase amongst Punk followers. In 1982 their agenda became apparent with the classic 'Kick Out The Tories' single - the song went on to become a Punk anthem and the band's most famous track. Through the '80's the band became increasingly involved in the agit-pop scene, regularly playing benefit concerts and festivals. The Neurotics always enjoyed a loyal and fanatical following, and this was displayed when the band played their final show in 1988. "The Long Goodbye" features that show - at London's Fulham Greyhound - in it's full majesty. The performance is packed full of crowd favourite songs and features a guest performance from famed punk-poet Attila The Stockbroker.
