An extract from the novel Bovver Birds Rool: "Dawn's preferred nickname was 'Demolition Girl'. Or, 'Demolition Dawn', if needs must. She would never answer to just plain old 'Dawn', though. 'Dawn' was completely out. She was tired of blokes asking if they could see her 'crack', for a start. That was never funny, to Dawn. Or the blokes, after they'd said it and got their comeuppance. And then there was Jane. Her friends called her 'Jane Pain', because she liked to inflict it on her enemies in lethal doses. Her enemies called her 'Plain Jane', which she wasn't, but she was hardly the Daily Mirror's wartime glamour girl Jane, either. A one-girl war? Yeah, sometimes. Especially if you were one of the chancers attempting to call her 'Plain'. Or, if you were attempting to cause aggro for her beloved Dawn. And these were The Knuckle Girls. Well, two of them, anyway. The others were many but lesser-spotted, like their Bovver Bird adversaries, unless there was a crisis, which was most weeks. Most days, sometimes. Friday nights were the worst." Features Diana Demon, Norah, Debbie Byrne, Maureen Elkner, Kiki Dee, Mamba Strike, Bobbie McGee, Jackie & Jan, Faith Brown, Vic Lezal's Professionals, The Blackboard Rubber Band, Alexandra Rubin, Jessy Joyce, and an unknown artist.

From the liner notes: "An extract from the novel Bovver Birds Rool (... continued) 'That must hurt', said Dave. He hovered over Sue as she shakily tried to return to her feet. 'Well help me, then', barked Sue with a pained expression, 'don't just flippin' stand there'. 'I think this fell off', said Dave as he handed Sue back her bloodied Marc Bolan rosette. 'Great', snapped Sue, 'Steve's only just given me that... Which way did they go?' 'Don't be daft', said Dave, 'you're in no fit state.' At Tuesday night's Stall Street Disco, Dawn and Jane were busy victory dancing to their anthem, Hector's 'Wired Up', darting hard-faced Knuckle Girl glares at any boy daring enough to comment on their togetherness with an ill-advised wink and a nudge to his immediate neighbour. Meanwhile, Sue had invested her last 2p in a phone call to her best mate 'Sand', short for Sandra. 'Sand' was the self-elected leader of the Bovver Birds, the female contingent of The Larkhall Legion, who were beginning to assemble around the entrance to the disco. 'Tired of living?' were the last words Dawn heard as her face hit the floor. 'You cow!,' Dawn screamed, as she pulled out the remnants of her own front tooth and threw it in the face her towering tormentor. 'The Knuckle Girls buckle and the Bovver Birds win. Again!,' announced Sand in a loud but deadpan voice over the continuing Hector music. 'We'll leave you alone now to bury your dead. ... 'Birds' is still the word, and you've should been shat on from a great height. Next time, bitches!' A bow-tied bouncer strong-armed 'Sand' from the hall, dragging her by the arms as she still tried to pitch a globule of carefully-harvested spittle over her agitator. 'And there's a greeny for you,' she shrieked with delight as it landed successfully." (to be continued...) Features Nina Martin, Norah, Philadelphia, Paula Lincoln, Vermilion, Bobbie McGee, NQB, The Alison Marklew Band, Lorenza Johnson, Radar, Rock Follies, The (New) Settlers, Punchin' Judy, and Judith Crowne.

2022 repress. An extract from the novel Bovver Birds Rool: "Dawn pushed Sue's head as hard as she could against the stone wall of the school. The connection registered with a gruesome 'thud'. 'That's for getting off with Steve', she snarled. A second girl cracked Sue sharply around the face with an open palm and then kicked her as she slumped to the ground. 'Do not mess...' shrieked Jane. 'Do you understand, Bitch!' A descending bike chain left a bloody trail across Sue's now fractured skull. 'Have you learned your lesson, Bitch, or do you want some knuckle too? Well? do you?' Dawn smiled approvingly at Jane and the two girls linked arms and walked away. 'What are you staring at?', snapped Dawn at their first passer-by, Dave, a pale and sullen lad from school. 'I'm not quite sure,' he quickly replied. 'It walks like a bloke and talks like a bloke, but it's got girly bits... Or, at least, I think it has.' Jane quickly broke away from Dawn and started to run towards Dave who immediately quickened his pace. 'And you'll never find out you piece of chicken shit,' she screamed. (to be continued...)"
Bovver Birds & Knuckle Girls... a rare burst of etiquette. So, what would you get on a date with a Bovver Bird or a Knuckle Girl? A few harsh words and a cheap thrill -- or a competitively-priced thrill, at least. Up against the wall. Nothing fancy, just a bit of "hanky panky" with your tougher-than-average Knuckle Sandwich Nancy. "Girls used only to resort to psychological bullying... Now they're moving in gangs and using bicycle chains, knives and clubs. In fact they're beginning to behave in a way once only associated with the roughest of boys." --Henry Clover, Press Officer Of The National Union Of Teachers
Features Kuny, Carol And The Boston Garden, Desira, Rock Follies, Twinkle Ripley, Misty, Kristine Sparkle, Glo Macari, Lelly Boone, C. Star, Vicky Fury, Ayshea, Heart, and Vic Lezal's Professionals.
