Issued by Ensign Records in the UK, this 12" single captures The Boomtown Rats’ debut hit “Lookin' After No. 1,” a punchy punk anthem written by Bob Geldof. Produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the track blends new wave urgency with sharp lyrical wit. The B-side includes “Born To Burn” and a live version of “Barefootin’” recorded in Amsterdam. The release features etched runouts with phrases like “KEEP YOU'RE TRAP SHUT – DO THE RAT!”, adding collector appeal. Pressed by Island Records Manufacturing Ltd and mastered at Utopia Studios.
