Birth Of A Nation EP U.K. Release Date: February 1979 Pete's debut saw this funny and rather suspect homage to leather clad bikers. A three-track EP with the song Black Leather on the A-side, described by Pete as "a one-note song for ten minutes", is actually only half that song and midway breaks into That's The Way (I Like It), later a hit for Dead Or Alive. The B-side features two more songs, Girl's Song and Shangri-La, inspired by Sixties all-girl group, the Shangri-Las. Pete said at the time that he felt more of an affinity with the current punk movement and all tracks have these punk overtones. The EP, only ever released in the U.K. on the Inevitable label, never entered the chart, but made the Indie Top 30. In 1984, the EP was re-released on 12" with Black Leather and Shangri-La with a different Blue sleeve and again in 1985 with a 'melting-face' picture sleeve with the same tracks. Both re-releases appeared on the KY label. (Taken from NUKLEOPATRA'S KIOSK Volume 1 Issue 1)
