The Instigators - In Line 1981



This is the first single from Auckland Ska band The Instigators. Released on Ripper Records in 1981. It looks like Not Really Bad was originally going to be the A-Side as there were stickers placed over the track number of the labels. They released one further single (Hope She's Alright).
