Limited to 200 copies. UPC: 5052571218716 In the annals of Bristol music history Glaxo Babies could have a book and a zone of greatness all of their own. Singles and EP's such as 'Christine Keeler' and 'This Is Your Life', along with the seminal 'Avon Calling' compilation John Peel recorded session version of 'It's Irrational', stormed the zeitgeist of late 70's, early 80's UK post punk.
