Spitfire Boys, The - 1979 - Funtime/Transcendal Changing 7''.
The Spitfire Boys were the first Liverpool punk band to release a single ("British Refugee" c/w "Mein Kampf"). The Spitfire Boys were mainly notable for including in their line-up Budgie, who went on to drum for The Slits and later Siouxsie & the Banshees (as well as marrying Siouxsie of the Banshees), and Paul Rutherford, later better known for being a member of 1980s pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Jones (aka guitarist David Littler) went on to join The Photons, which also included Steve Strange (Visage) and Vince Ely (Psychedelic Furs).
In July 2006 the band had "British Refugee" re-released on a Korova Records compilation album, entitled North by Northwest, which was compiled by Paul Morley.
