This discography is based on what I own and also what I knows exists. There may be other 12" singles from 1980, and I'm not sure quite what the status of "An Alternative Use of Soap" was. If you know - let me know!

Footnotes
'Play' is a live album, but the live tracks on the singles kind of put it in the shade a bit.
'Scree' is a handy compilation of all singles material, not already on an album, (including no fewer than 4 A-sides) with the odd omission of the original 'Shot By Both Sides'. One of the other compilations is a companion piece to 'Scree' and is essentially a Greatest Hits and presumably includes the missing 'Shot By Both Sides'.
(MAYBE IT'S RIGHT TO BE NERVOUS NOW) is something of a disappointment in terms of new material. Virtually all the live material was previously released (much of it on 'Play' which makes the running order a bit odd) and 'Scree' is also liberally spread between CDs 1 and 2. The best reason for buying it though is CD3 which gave an official release to the oft bootlegged Peel Session tapes.
