Tracklist:
1. What a Waster
2. I Get Along
To celebrate its 20th birthday, The Libertines’ debut single ‘What A Waster’ is repressed here on a seven-inch vinyl, backed by original B-side ‘I Get Along’. Part calling card from the stars, part postcard from the gutter, when The Libertines made their first introductions there was no time for a gentle warm-up or an orienteering session to point out all the fire exits. Hell, there was no way out anyway because with their first single Pete and Carl and Gary and John dropped you straight in the middle of the energy and chaos that surged through their lives and fuelled their band. A storm of Bond-theme like riffs and ‘Carry On’ entendres, that charged forward with brakes-off drums, bass and the singers’ intertwined vocals, ‘What a Waster’ wasn’t a song to help you get your bearing with a new band, it was a track that made you realise this group would become your whole world.
