"Fallen Angel" was the single, wasn't it, with "Lips" on the flip?  Though it
was "Lips" that spent several weeks in the _Sounds_ Heavy Metal chart.
 "Hungry Boys" was always one of my faves, plus "Monsters" of course (any
song about mutiny and gang rape in hyperspace is off to a good start already
:)...  but I liked BOC, at least in part, *because* they were never going to
"appeal to the masses"!
