Buttercup Records has reissued Melbourne band NEWS' "Dirty Lies" 7 inch from 1978 along with two bonus tracks. The band was originally known as BABEEZ.

From the label....

40th anniversary reissue from Buttercup of this classic 1978 Australian Punk EP!

Gritty, urgent Melbourne Punk action featuring the original two tracks 'Dirty Lies' b/w: 'Chop Chop Chop' along with TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS on Side B 'H Division Bash' ( 1978 Demo) and 'Mainline Honey' ( Live 1978), plus a bonus BABEEZ FLEXI-DISC featuring a previously unreleased 1977 2 minute screamer.

This is kinda the companion release to our hand painted BABEEZ 7" from a few years back and we have paid tribute to this singles DIY appeal and construction where the band hand screened /sprayed/stencilled their own sleeves and really took their music to the people in a very individual manner.

We have done FIVE EDITIONS of 78 Hand Numbered Copies each all with unique sleeves/packaging and all on a DIFFERENT COLOUR OF VINYL. As you are used to now, we have included MEGA inserts : BCR LINER NOTES , FLYER REPROS, a STICKER, LYRIC INSERT, and academic notes from Professor Chris McAuliffe from the University of Melbourne.
