Boring BO-1, 1977.
01 - Jubilee 77
02 - Hooked On You
03 - Fascist DJ
04 - The Windmill
Graham Scott - vocals/guitar, Stan Workman - guitar, Robert Kirk - bass, Dougie Burns - drums.
The Exile were one of the earliest bands on the Glasgow punk scene, and the first to get a record out. This EP on their own Boring label does have a rather unique take on punk thanks in equal parts to an early 70's rock hangover and a limited recording budget. All the tracks were recorded live in one take except for some guitar and vocal overdubs on 'Fascist DJ'.
The band's follow-up 'The Real People' on the Charly label has a much more full-on punk sound. A third single 'World In Crisis' (back on Boring) saw the band change their name to Friction due to some issues with the 'Kiss You All Over' hit-makers. Robert Kirk and Dougie Burns also perform on the No Entry Band's EP.

Hey - great choice to post up. Have you any idea what Boring BO-2 was? This was BO-1 and Friction was BO-3 (with Real People being on Charley). It's been bugging me for a while now.
At a guess I'd say BO-2 was intended to be 'The Real People' but then they signed the Charly deal. Could be wrong though? ...anyone else know?
Yaeh! Fascist DJ was a track on Nova Vaga Various artists on my Warm records label from London in 1978.
I kinda discovered them! LOL

Hi Rui,
Thanks for the comment. Really like the 'Nova Vaga' LP. One question, what's all those weird sound effects on 'Pinhead'?
Cheers, James.
Bo 2 was The No Entry Band, an EP by two Glasgow songwriters and featuring two of The Exile on the record.
The No Entry Band EP was on Kube Arts (KA-1) not Boring.
