Friday Giveaway: Win The Only Ones back catalogue

Reformed punk rock legends The Only Ones have just had their three studio albums re-issued and re-mastered with extra tracks - and you can win them.

The classic British band released their self-titled album in 1978 and are best known for its classic three-minute of song perfection Another Girl, Another Planet (receiving attention again in 2006 when Vodaphone used it in a television advert).

The band´s second album - 1979´s

Even Serpents Shine

- is widely regarded as their best and they followed it with 1980´s

Baby´s Got A Gun

before an acrimonious split ended the band far too soon in 1981.

Just before that they wrote themselves into the rock n´roll book of controversy with a disastrous 1981 US tour that involved frontman

Peter Perrett

having to flee the country on an attempted murder charge.

But now the band are back, Perrett has overcome his demons while guitarist

Johny Perry

has put a successful career as a rock biographer on hold to join original bassist

Alan Mair

and

Mike Kellie

.

They´ve already been cited as an influence on the likes of The Libertines, while Blink 182 and Belle & Sebastian have covered their songs. Ongoing interest in the band led to the decision to reform in 2007 and successful UK dates followed. Now there are plans to record new material but first there´s three definitive editions of their studio albums to date.
