Schmidt: 24pc x3 A Day at Playschool classic rock It was released in September

It was released in September 1978 by Chrysalis Records to international commercial success

this is a natural continuation of everything that encompasses the band's ideas on life

The album saw the band chart in Germany for the first time in years

The singles 'Johnny Come Home' (a plea to a runaway that sounds like the Beat's ska stripped down to its tense and obsessive essentials) and 'Blue' (one of the more oblique and successful antiMargaret Thatcher tracks of its era) are terrific

There's the Power Pop punch of 'Cupid's Not A Friend of Mine'
