RODS - DO ANYTHING YOU WANNA DO / SCHOOLGIRL LOVE
Seize the absolute, high-octane apex of the 1977 UK punk and new-wave explosion with this legendary original 7" vinyl single pressing of Do Anything You Wanna Do by Rods (Eddie and the Hot Rods). Released via Island Records under their historic, stripped-down punk moniker, this phenomenal single stands as a monumental, timeless youth anthem of personal freedom and working-class rebellion. The wide, high-velocity 45 RPM analog grooves deliver a punchy, ferocious soundstage—perfectly balancing Graeme Douglas’s driving, Byrds-inspired melodic guitar hooks with the explosive, pub-rock-fueled rhythm section. From Barrie Masters’s snotty, defiant, and snarling vocal delivery to the driving bass lines of the B-side garage workout "Schoolgirl Love," every second of this Steve Lillywhite-engineered session leaps from your speakers with raw, front-row club intimacy. Housed in its iconic original Delga-printed pink graphic picture sleeve, this beautifully preserved 1977 classic is an absolute, non-negotiable crown jewel for any serious punk archivist, power-pop completionist, or vintage UK rock hunter.
