Pissed and Proud (1982) Mating Sounds of South American Frogs (1983)

Although previously the band had released a raft of singles, this was their first full-length album and was followed up by Mating Sounds of South American Frogs – their first full-length studio album – in 1983. This album includes a cover version of "I'm the Leader of the Gang" – a Gary Glitter song from 1973.

Many of these songs in their studio form were re-released on Anagram Records' compilation, The Punk Singles Collection in 1995.
