iPod Shuffle - Gary Gilmores Eyes - a photo on Flickriver

Gary Gilmore's Eyes - "The Adverts" - Play this track here.

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here

In 1977, The Adverts had a top 20 hit in the UK with the song "Gary Gilmore's Eyes". The lyrics describe an eye donor recipient realizing his new eyes came from the executed murderer. The song was later covered by the German punk rock band Die Toten Hosen. There is also a country version of the song, but that would not be allowed in my iTunes (obviously).

I was introduced to them through the John Peel radio show as a nipper. They were started in 1976 by T.V. Smith and Gaye Advert. Smith and Advert were both from Bideford, a small coastal town in Devon, and were later married. After relocating to London the two young punks recruited guitarist Pickup and drummer Driver, and The Adverts were born.

To hear the energy of the Adverts live, checkout the 'Roxy London WC2: A Live Punk Box Set: The Adverts'
