“Time’s Up” is Buzzcocks’ 1976 album of demos originally released as a bootleg. Featuring the founding line-up of Howard Devoto (vocals & songwriter), Pete Shelley (guitar & songwriter), Steve Diggle (bass guitar) and John Maher (drums), “Times Up” was recorded at Revolution Studios in Stockport, England on the 18th of October 1976. The session preceded the recording of Buzzcocks’ groundbreaking debut “Spiral Scratch”, and features demos of the EP’s four tracks – an EP now recognized as one of, if not the, most important records of the punk explosion.
