[edit] The Title

The title of the album, Fuzztone Fizzadelic, comes from a review of The first single by The Now called Development Corporations / Why? (Ultimate Records, ULT401, 1977), in Sounds (music paper available in '77) written by Jon Savage. The review simply said:

'A primitive but wonderful single from a criminally underrated D.I.Y. Punk band from Peterborough. This sounds like the Desperate Bicycles, and is a very simple, but effective protest song about a subject that should be dear to your hearts. And fuzztone fizzedelic guitar! You need more?'
