@postpunk_80 on Instagram: "Promises // Singles Going Steady is a compilation album by the British punk rock band @the_official_buzzcocks , released by IRS Records in the United States on September 25, 1979. It was Buzzcocks' first US release, intended to appeal to the American market and coinciding with a tour. After some decent import sales, it was released in the United Kingdom on November 16, 1981, through United Artists Records . However, the album, as in the United States, never charted."
