Editorial Reviews The Vibrators made their debut on Epic with the classic 'Baby Baby' which was followed by the album 'Pure Mania' which peaked at 49 in the charts. A second single was released from the album 'London Girls' and the band toured supporting Ian Hunter. Pat Collier left and was replaced by Gary Tibbs. The bands next release in March 1978 'Automatic Lover' reached 35 in the charts and earned the band a Top Of The Pops appearance. A second album 'V2'was released in April and reached 33 in the charts and is still regarded as one of New Wave's finest moments. Other line-up changes occurred but the singles continued 'Judy Says', 'Gimme Some Lovin', 'Disco In Moscow', 'Baby Baby' (re-recorded), 'MX America', 'Flying Home', 'Baby Blue Eyes' and 'Blown Away By Love'. Many albums were released including 'Guilty', 'Alaska 127', 'Recharged', 'Meltdown' and 1997's 'French Lessons With Correction' as well as numerous reissues. Expect more new product and reissues shortly. 'Volume 10' was originally released in 1990 on the now defunct FM Revolver and has been unavailable for several years. One of their more commercial efforts it features three particularly fine tracks: 'Cartel', 'Video Girl' and 'Commanche'. 'Unpunked' was an acoustic album of old favourites on the band's own Vibrators label and only available directly from the band, therefore never received distribution. Some versions came out very differently from the originals and one reviewer described it like hearing them for the first time again. Included are such favourites as 'Judy Says (Knock You In The Head)', 'Automatic Lover'and 'Amphetamine Blue'.
