From Y to Z and Never Again

From Y To Z and Never Again is an EP by the seminal punk band Big in Japan.[2][3] It includes four of their six recorded songs and is notable for being the first release on Zoo Records, the label created by band members Bill Drummond and David Balfe. It was also one of the first releases that came from the late '70s-early '80s Liverpool rock scene.[4] The EP has been out of print since 1978, but the tracks are available on the Zoo Records compilation Zoo Uncaged.
