Chiswick (with Joe and the boys) gets the nod on this release over Stiff.

With out a doubt the 101'ers. I don't like the jam session feel of the Roogaltors. First time hearing them and not impressed.

not the best roogaltors 45 so 101'er gets an easy win here

I go against the grain and while the 101'ers was good, I enjoyed the Roogaltors more.

101'ers easily - Roogalators' b side consigned to recycle bin instantly, a side soon to follow I think.
Thanks

Roogalator.They were a great band, and the a-side is a great song.

Roogalator all the way! 101'ers was, at best, a third-rate pub rock band. Roogalator, on the other hand, was nothing short of amazing. Live Danny Adler had his boys so tightly groomed they where sort-of a one-man rhythm-section. They just had more arms and legs.

@bosshoss - third-rate without Joe Strummer, possibly. Not with him.

101ers for sure.
