The first Yachts single presented not only the new Stiff label design but a fantastic piece of classic power pop produced by Will Birch (Kursaal Flyers, The Records). Still named The Radiators From Space, the band released "Enemies", their second single and possibly the best song taken from "TV Tube Heart", written as a response to the NME's (geddit?) senseless sensation-mongerring over the kid getting stabbed at a Radiators gig in Dublin.

Much as I Love the Yachts single the Radiators single is one of the best of all time. Those boys really meant it! And Ghost Town is yet to come.
For me, Enemies it is the best Radiator´s song.
Go on Angelo with this funny battle!!

Ghostown.....As a Dubliner myself this IS THE greatest Lp to ever come out of this town...hands down a GEM for all who know it and are about to know it!!
The Rads were special and will always remain Dublins finest.
