  1. "Don't take no for an answer" - Tom Robinson Band

    Take a look at the folk lounging on the scenery in the wide shot - surely that's David Jensen, Esq.

    Tom's in his school uniform, and the pink triangle of homosexual men (the rainbow flag wouldn't be invented for a few months).

    Almost perfect punk: sharp, punchy, leaves us wanting more.
