Singles Going Steady

Singles Going Steady is a compilation album by English punk band Buzzcocks, first released on I.R.S. Records in the US on 25 September 1979.[3]  It was the first Buzzcocks album to be released in North America and intended as an introduction to the band for the American public, coinciding with a US tour. After healthy sales on import in the UK over the next two years, and following the group's split in early 1981, the album was belatedly released in the band's home country on United Artists Records on 16 November 1981[4]  as a 'greatest hits' album. However, as in the US, the album failed to chart.

Side one of the original release of the album featured their eight UK single releases from 1977 to 1979 in chronological order, while side two featured their corresponding B-sides, also in chronological order. The album was reissued in expanded form on compact disc in 2001 with an extra eight tracks, featuring the A-sides and B-sides of Buzzcocks' four singles released in 1980, between Singles Going Steady's original release and the group's break-up.
