First released on CD only in 2009, much of the album was recorded following a transit van engine seizure on the M1.
The band were headed for Scotland for a weekend of gigs, but the van had other plans.
The album spawned classics like ‘Ordinary Girl’, ‘Sniffing Glue’, ‘Starvation Box’ and ‘Old Skool’, all four of which were featured in the live set for many years.
American artist Landon Armstrong’s sleeve art is the cherry on the cake.

Studs and Punks review 5 stars out of 5
Vice squads punk rock loyalty and general attitude have really impressed me over the years, and having listened to London Underground, their music shows that they well and truly deserve to be up there on the podium as one of the greats of all time. I guess if there was an equivalent award for Punk lifetime achievement, my vote would go in this direction, and I am pretty sure that I wouldn’t need to rig the ballet box.
Profane Existence
Tight, punchy, get to the point songs, the way punk rock needs to be. This album can stand with their older albums and make you glad to be into old school punk without apologies. If you ever get the chance to see VICE SQUAD in concert…DO IT!!!!!!!!!’
