Model Mania - No Pride Slow Suicide Single

   Model Mania were a Birmingham four piece that formed in 1975. Three of the band mates are brothers. This, their only record was released in 1979 on their own Boob Records. A 1000 copies were pressed, the first 250 were hand stamped, the remainder have proper labels. A name change to Power Farm, in 1982 brought about another single titled, "Which Way U.S.A" the following year, also on Boob Records. I've never heard it, so I have no idea if it's any good?
