Description

Love Bites is Buzzcocks’ razor-sharp second album — a punchy, melodic burst of punk energy that refined their pop instincts without losing bite. This Domino remastered reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in an embossed sleeve, and includes a glossy 8-page booklet with liner notes by Jon Savage and rare photos, plus an MP3 download code. Remastered from the original ¼" tapes, the pressing preserves the album’s raw immediacy and melodic clarity.

Produced by Martin Rushent and recorded at Olympic Studios, the album features the band’s biggest hit “Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)”, alongside fan favourites like “Operators Manual,” “Just Lust,” and “ESP.” With Pete Shelley’s bittersweet lyrics and the band’s tight, angular playing, Love Bites captures the emotional urgency of punk’s golden era.
