Founded in 1976, Stiff Records was at the heart of the new wave, bringing the world artists as diverse as Elvis Costello, Kirsty MacColl and Ian Dury and what is generally regarded as the first ever punk rock single, New Rose by The Damned. The label set the yardstick for music business marketing, with artwork by Barney Bubbles and an array of memorable slogans, not least “If It Ain’t Stiff, It Ain’t Worth A Fuck”.
Got reminded of this tonight watching a reproduction of Friday Night Videos from the 80's. I hadn't heard this song in forever but don't you know I sang right along with it word for word? This era is immortal. Love Tracey Ullman.
Glad to hear this blasting out of the speakers in Whitehall, opposite Downing Street on St. George's Day this year. Attended by real patriots ~ disgraced by the traitorous behaviour of the metropolitan police.
