Original members DaveVanian (David Lett), Captain Sensible (Ray Burns), and Rat Scabies (Chris Millar) were all members of the semi-legendary Masters of the Backsides which included future Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde.
Vanian's deadpan intro ("Is she really going out with him?") was later borrowed by Joe Jackson for the title of arguably his best-known song.
Likewise, Vanian's vocals had expanded from the high-baritone barks of the early records to a range including a smooth, proto-Gothic croon.
