The title of the B side to The Stranglers' 1979 single release, Nuclear Device (The Wizard of Aus). (UA BP318, reached the giddy heights of No.36 and managed a stonking 4 whole weeks in the UK chart!).

YCUF6 is the result of a track called 'Social Secs', written about the band walking offstage with right faces on!, from a live performance on 'Rock Goes to College' in 1978, played backwards. They decided to release it as a 'B' side because the track 'wasn't going anywhere!'

The subject matter..........."UF6 is the chemical uranium hexafluoride, the basic material from which uranium is extracted. The Australian government had found huge deposits of uranium in the centre of the Aboriginal sacred sites. The Aborigines weren't very happy when the government started excavating." .........thanks for that Hugh.

I created this, quite frankly rather shoddy, video purely as a vehicle to overlay my version of 'Social Secs' as a soundtrack. The images therein don't mean that much but can be construed as a light-hearted, good natured dig at our Antipodean convi.......(oops!).....cousins. (Especially as England appear to be in the semi-finals of the Rugby Union World Cup whereas the Aussie's 'spooned it!').;-)

Enjoy (or otherwise!)

(PS and before you start.......I know Hans Warmling, PR, JE and Baz Warne had absolutely nothing to do with this track but I thought I'd give'em a mention coz....well....they're part of the rich tapestry that is The Stranglers' history...............innit!

The bass line at 1.26 was used on the track Do The European from JJ Burnels solo album Euroman Cometh.

This onr is technically called Social Secs and it has been dug out of the emi vaults. Look for Wasting Time by the Stranglers on Amazon

1.26 sounds like a song from Euroman but can't remember which one

Thanks for this. As a kid when I bought "Nuclear" I tried to manually play it backwards on my dad's record player, but never had the dexterity... not as good as the original tho...lol

I am terribly sorry. I can't help feeling somehow responsible. I'm am truly sorry I even mentioned Nero Slideshow. Nice backwardsness though mate.
