Well, three notes actually...if you count the very last one.
Not surprising Devoto (declaring himself--in one of punk's earliest singles--a "has been" who merely goes back-and-forth) would soon quit Buzzcocks, deriding the scene as already played-out, coasting on imitative gestures.
A good thing for listeners, who got both the Buzzcocks and Magazine: as Pete Shelley obviously had something to say, also. Seems unlikely the former band would have long survived with two frontmen and songwriters.
