DESCRIPTION:
The Vibrators were founded by Ian 'Knox' Carnochan, bassist Pat Collier who was replaced by Garry Tibbs, guitarist John Ellis, and drummer John 'Eddie' Edwards. They first came to public notice at the 100 Club when they backed Chris Spedding in 1976. The band signed to Epic Records in early 1977. Their follow-up album, V2, narrowly missed the UK Top 30. The only single to be taken from that album, "Automatic Lover", was the only Vibrators' single to reach the UK Top 40 where it reached No. 35.[6] It earned the band a TV appearance on the prime-time TV show Top of the Pops. The Vibrators' final single on Epic, "Judy Says (Knock You In The Head)", was released in June 1978. It reached No. 70 in the UK singles chart.[6] Years later it was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time.
