...The tracks follow the numerical order of the singles, but feature mostly the B-sides, although several singles were originally issued as double A-sides. The other sides of the Motörhead and Elvis Costello tracks had appeared on the previous compilation album, A Bunch of Stiff Records. The missing single from the sequence (BUY 10) was "Neat Neat Neat"/"Stab Your Back"/"Singalongascabies" by the Damned[1] whereas both sides of the Tyla Gang's single were included on this album. The inner sleeve included pictures of numerous artists, such as Abba and Tom Petty, who appeared on other labels. Although some thought this was some form of slight, they were shown because Stiff admired them, despite their being on other labels. The album did not enter the UK charts. However, it featured some of the most influential recording artists of the new wave era. Issued as an LP (FIST 1) on 16 September 1977, it was also issued on Cassette (ZFIST 1) on 22 October 1977. It has not been re-released on CD. - wiki

Lew Lewis's "Caravan Man" is one of the great unheralded songs of the Stiff years. Even then it sounded like it was from another era.
Thanks! (I still have 7"s of most of these.
This whole LP shows what Stiff were all about, particular stand outs are “Caravan Man” by naughty boy Lew Lewis and “Cincinnati Fatback” by Roogalator. Of course if you don’t like Motörhead then I can’t help you. A record that captures my youth, along with the Live Siffs album.
