T.V. Smith wrote "No Time to Be 21" on his own, and the Adverts fired it out as a single ahead of their debut album, Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts, where it turns up too. It got as high as 34 on the UK Singles Chart, a respectable dent for a band this raw.
The album followed on Bright in February 1978, cut at Abbey Road Studios of all places, with John Leckie producing, and even its title had a story behind it: Jane Suck came up with the name.
