In 1976, Dave Freeman, Joe Hughes, and Neil O'Connor, together with a string of unnamed drummers, were the Coventry-based Midnight Circus, becoming the Flys after Pete King joined up.
An introduction to the Damned (musically) and the Buzzcocks (personally) gave the group a fairly regular opening slot for the latter group and, in April 1977, the Flys' first demos went out. Half punk, half pop, a jangling, jarring cross between the Byrds and the Buzzcocks, A Bunch of Five appeared just in time for Christmas 1977 -- at which point EMI offered the Flys a deal. Weeks later, the Flys were in London, opening for label mates the Rich Kids at the 100 Club (they blew the headliners off the stage) and preparing for their first single, a major-label release for the EP's "Love and a Molotov Cocktail" -- the first undisputed classic 45 of 1978.
Springtime tours with the Buzzcocks and the magnificent madness of Otway & Barrett followed, together with a new single, "Fun City." Summer then saw the Flys record their debut album, Waikiki Beach Refugees, a power punk tour de force, its title track alone worth the price of entry.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.
*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********
---------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!
We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.
Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).
---------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT
I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.
However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.
I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
