Following on from last week's John Peel Record Collection it's fairly common knowledge that his favourite record was "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones.
But I had never heard the follow up single "Get Over You" until recently. It's another slice of timeless teenage frustration in a pop punk song from the boys from Northern Ireland. And if you think they all look very young in this video, they are all 20 years old or younger.
Neither single was included on the original May 1979 release of the band's album 'The Undertones' - however, the following October's re-release of this debut album included both songs. 


You now probably want to hear "Teenage Kicks" right ?
So here's the moment John Peel played it twice in a row on his radio show [click here]
