That’s really good. It sounds like it would’ve been written later than the Seventies for some reason?

I'm delighted that you like it :-)

You're right...I wrote that info from memory, which for a rather scruffy stoat is always a mistake   :-)

"A Bang and a Wimpy" was released on Attila The Stockbroker's first EP (Extended Play vinyl disk....usually a 7" disk that plays at 33rpm but there are  12" 45rpm EP's as well) in 1981, so it was probably written in 1980 or thereabouts.  I remember it being rather popular among the punk and rock and roll crowd at the time although I don't recall how it placed on the charts, if at all.
