The Nips – Only The End Of The Beginning [LP] (1980, Soho Records)

The Nips are an English punk rock band formed in London in 1976 as The Nipple Erectors by punk artist Shanne Bradley and are notable as having been Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan's first musical group after Shanne auditioned him in her bedsit by The Arsenal Football Club.
 
Initially consisting of Shane MacGowan (known at the time as ''Shane O'Hooligan''), bassist Shanne Bradley, guitarist Roger Towndrow and drummer Adrian Fox (aka "Arcane Vendetta"), The Nipple Erectors performed their first gig at The Roxy Club in Covent Garden in 1977. The band later released four singles and there was one bootleg live album between 1978 and 1981. Inspired by The Stooges, The Nipple Erectors incorporated elements of rockabilly and 1960s garage rock into their music. 
 
Following the release of their first single, 'King of the Bop / Nervous Wreck' in June 1978, on Soho Records, the band renamed themselves The Nips and released the garage punk song 'All The Time in the World / Private Eye' with Phil Rowland of Eater on drums. By May 1979, the band's line up had changed to include Gavin "Fritz" Douglas, on guitar. 'Gabrielle' was released in November 1979, first on Soho Records, and then reissued on Chiswick Records. with John ("Grinny") Grinton (ex-Skrewdriver) on drums. By the time of its release, Grinny had been replaced by Roger Travis Williams. Gavin Douglas' guitar playing on this record marked a change in the band's sound to a more melodic style. The live album, 'Only the End of the Beginning' was released on Soho Records in 1980, from a recording made whilst on tour with The Purple Hearts. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]
