Description
In my humble opinion the song ‘Half Twee’ by the HELMETTES is the best European punk song (1977-1982) ever made. Only 1,000 records of this Dutch 7” from 1978 pressed. Of course we all love that outstanding European singles from the SEX PISTOLS (Holidays In The Sun) O LEVEL (Pseudo Punk) KILLJOYS (Johnny Won't Get To Heaven) EPPU NORMAALI (Poliisi Pamputtaa Taas) GUILTY RAZORS (I Don't Wanna Be A Rich) KRIMINELLA GITARRER (Vardad Klädsel) and SCROTUM POLES (Radio Tay) but this 7” might be the best from the best. And what a bastard this super-loud Dutch shocker is. Released on Amsterdam's finest punk label ‘No Fun’ records. Also GOD'S HEART ATTACK and MECANO LTD kicked out their records on this cult label. If the HELMETTES were from the States then this would be the ultimate US stomper. The single includes all elements of a classic. Extremely loud vocals, topped with the right F**K YOU attitude. Brilliant kick-in-your-face guitar riffs and a top production. In other words a true masterpiece. ‘I Don't Care What The People Say’ (what a wonderful title for a punk song) appears on the A-side. But as I mentioned the real cracker is on the flip which titled ‘Half Twee’ (which means 'Half Two'). Their only record release is a real b*tch to find and part of European punk history. The label was designed by Joost Swarte which is another reason why this record is sooo collectable. Cult ! Cult ! Cult !
