12—Sgt. Rock
Andy called this one 'limply crap'. I beg to differ. This is a thrilling stomp with a chorus that shouldn't work, yet is somehow one of the catchiest things he ever wrote. So there.

13: Ball and Chain
I know this isn't a favourite for most (including Moulding himself) but I think it's brilliant: part terrace chant, part 'Getting Better', with a killer middle 8 of course, all combining to make singalong pop magic.

14: Are you receiving me?
A standalone single better than anything on the album it accompanied. A glimpse of the future too with Andy in full in helicopter mode. Killer punk chorus meets mad as mustard middle 8. It's an unhinged joy!

15: Making Plans for Nigel
Kicking off with the bands first big hit, and one of the biggest they ever had, written by Mr. Moulding. A brilliantly off-beat hit that proves how much can be added to a character just by giving them a name.
