Another Music in a Different Kitchen (1978) Love Bites (1978)

Another Music in a Different Kitchen was the Buzzcocks' first album, released in 1978 and including the hit single "I Don't Mind", which reached #55 in the UK chart in May 1978. The corresponding CD was released in March 1994 on the same record label. This was the second line-up of the Buzzcocks, with Pete Shelley singing, following the departure of original leader Howard Devoto. The third track, You Tear Me Up, is one of the earliest examples of the D-beat punk subgenre.

"It's all very surreal and Dada," says Pete Shelley, "All those elements that we were exploring back then. The first Buzzcocks album title was a kind of cut-up of the title of one of Linder [Sterling]'s other pieces of art. We called it 'Another Music In A Different Kitchen' which partially came from a Linder piece called Housewives Choosing Their Own Juices In A Different Kitchen."^[1]

Another Linder Sterling piece portraying a salad bowl filled with eyes was originally intended for the front cover, however guitarist Steve Diggle and drummer John Maher deemed the image too unsettling to use.^[2]
