'Teenage Warning' then hit No. 29 and saw the band in the nation's living rooms via their appearance on Top Of The Pops. A hat-trick of hits was completed when 'Never 'Ad Nothin' hit No. 52 in late 1979. The band moved into the 1980s with hits like 'Out Of Control' (No. 58), 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' (No. 58 and incredibly appearing here on CD for the first time in it's original 7" version), 'Last Night Another Soldier' (No. 65) and 'Kids On The Street' (No. 57) before they switched to (then) newly established Independent label Anagram Records. The hits kept coming though: 'Woman In Disguise' reached No. 18 in the Independent Chart, swiftly followed by a No. 24 for 'Solidarity'.
