I will always remember this as a double A-Side, so good were both tracks, though in truth they have not aged well. "Go Buddy Go" was the first punk single I bought, with its infectious, get-up-and-pogo melody and its sing-along refrain. "Peaches" was more restrained, a sort of bitter look at a day at the beach in summer. Both carried that trademark heavy bass line of the Stranglers which made virtually anything they did instantly recognisable.
There exists an alternative version of "Peaches", duly sanitised for radio and TV, which could not have the word 'Bummer' used in a song. Dimwitted idiots that they are, they didnt know that this was a song about someone staring at breasts on a beach.
Rating: 8/10
