The Nips - All The Time In The World

On this date in 1978, The Nips released their second single, "All The Time In The World". It was backed by "Private Eyes". They had been called The Nipple Erectors originally but radio wouldn't touch the name so they shortened it. The London punk band released four singles before disbanding in 1980. They were led by Shane McGowan (later, of The Pogues) though he was known as Shane O'Hooligan at the time. They have played some reunion gigs recently.
