{"title":"Pete Shelley Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003ePete Shelley was an English singer, songwriter, and musician who was best known as the frontman of the English punk rock band, Buzzcocks. Formed in 1976, the band released four studio albums and nine singles, including their classic songs, “Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)” and “What Do I Get?”.\r\n\r\nTheir first album, Another Music in a Different Kitchen, was released in 1978 and contained the singles “Orgasm Addict” and “What Do I Get?”. Their second album, Love Bites, was released in 1979 and contained their biggest hit, “Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)”. Their third album, A Different Kind of Tension, was released in 1980 and contained the singles “Harmony in My Head” and “Why Can’t I Touch It?”. Their fourth album, Trade Test Transmissions, was released in 1983.\r\n\r\nPete Shelley was also known for his solo career and released three albums, Sky Yen (1980), XL1 (1983), and Heaven and the Sea (1988). His solo singles include “Homosapien” (1981) and “Telephone Operator” (1983).\r\n\r\nAn interesting fact about Pete Shelley is that he wrote and produced a lot of the material for the Buzzcocks, and he was a multi-instrumentalist. He also wrote the song “Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight”, which was later covered by The Prodigy in 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pete-shelley-i-dont-know-what-it-is-314794","title":"Pete Shelley – I Don't Know What It Is (E\/VG+)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent (E)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComments: \u003c\/strong\u003e Nice copy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003eI Don't Know What It Is is a 7\" by Pete Shelley from 1982 released on the Island Records label.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Pete Shelley\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/island-records-record-label\"\u003eIsland Records\u003c\/a\u003e – K 8708\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e 7\", 45 RPM, Single, Limited Edition\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1982\"\u003e1982\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/new-wave\"\u003eNew Wave\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/synth-pop\"\u003eSynth-Pop\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA I Don't Know What It Is\u003cbr\u003eB Witness The Change\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Island Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42218264330305,"sku":"4008647","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/ee259dda8ce283a12319714b42e2a747.jpg?v=1749021399"},{"product_id":"pete-shelley-homosapien-317695","title":"Pete Shelley – Homosapien (2xLP)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePete Shelley’s Homosapien marked a bold departure from his punk legacy with Buzzcocks, venturing into the emerging world of synth-pop. Released in 1981, the album was produced by Martin Rushent and layered with drum machines, sequencers, and shimmering synths. Despite this sonic shift, Shelley’s distinctive melodic instincts and lyrical wit remained fully intact. The title track, openly celebrating queer identity, was ahead of its time—earning both cult status and a ban from the BBC due to its sexually suggestive lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album blends emotional vulnerability with cool, electronic precision. Tracks like “I Generate a Feeling” and “Witness the Change” combine pop hooks with introspective songwriting, pushing boundaries in both sound and subject. While initially controversial, Homosapien has aged into a landmark of early '80s electronic music, gaining praise for its fearless innovation and Shelley’s seamless adaptation to a new musical
