A Different Kind of Tension

A Different Kind of Tension pulls together all the associated singles - five of them, including Parts 1-3 recorded with Martin Hannet and later collected on an American mini-album - as well as the last track the group recorded in their first incarnation: 'I Look Alone.' As an added bonus, there is a whole disc of demos from the period, including several hard-to-find songs like 'The Drive System,' 'Jesus Made Me Feel Guilty,' and Paddy Garvey's heart-rending 'Run Away From Home.' The set is rounded off with four BBC Recordings from the period, including an early outing for 'Everybody's Happy Nowadays.' This key song set the tone for this much misunderstood period in Buzzcocks' history.
