The Buzzcocks: Inside The Hit Factory
Peter Silverton, Sounds, 7 April 1979
"It's really amazing. I can just sit there and go dee-da-dee-da-dee, da-dee-da-dee, put some words to it, teach the other three how to play it, go to the studio and record it and put it out and know it'll sell...Amazing...magic...that's what music's all about."
