Stiff Little Fingers: Inflammable Material (Rough Trade)
Paul Morley, NME, 10 February 1979
I WAS HARDLY expecting it but...even more so than Never Mind The Bollocks which turned out to be comedy much more so than The Clash which turned out to be quaint as astonishing in its impact as The Ramones, Inflammable Material is the classic punk rock record.
