HistoryIn 1977, Cambridge record dealer Lee Wood founded Raw Records, and quickly recorded The Users in March of the year, releasing the single Sick of You/(I'm) In Love With Today on May 5, 1977. Sounds magazine stated that it "burns into your brain without compromise."[2] Despite only releasing two singles and being active for less than three years, the band developed a lasting cult following. BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel placed their first single Sick of You in his chosen Festive Fifty chart of 1977, and after his death it was revealed that he'd kept it as part of his favourite singles of all time.[3][4] The single was later reissued in 1999 and 2006 by Damaged Goods.[5] Guitarist Chris Free, would find some success as the writer of Tracie Young's 1983 hit single, "Give It Some Emotion".[6] & now writes and plays for The Sound Of Pop Art [7] The drummer’s son Sean Patrick O’Hanrahan is now the keyboard player in Max Bianco & The Blue Hearts. [8] In October 2008 they finally released their first album, Secondary Modern: 1976-1979, on Bin Liner records (part of Detour Records).[9] In 2007, Spin magazine named "Sick of You" one of the 20 best singles of 1977 by bands who not yet released an album.[10] Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys has cited the single as one of his favorite singles in terms of production when his band recorded 1980's Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables.[11] DiscographySingles
