Pete Shelley's "Just Lust" turned up on Love Bites, the second Buzzcocks album, which United Artists released on 22 September 1978. The credit was split with one Alan Dial, who was no stranger at all: the name was a pen name for the band's manager at the time, Richard Boon.
Love Bites was made at a sprint, the way punk records ought to be. The band and producer Martin Rushent recorded and mixed the whole thing in roughly two and a half weeks over July and August 1978, squeezed in among the dates of a heavy touring schedule, and it arrived less than six months after their debut, Another Music in a Different Kitchen.
