Formed in London in 1977, they still gig at the time of writing and have thier own web page PURPLE HEARTS.
The Name of the band Comes from Purple Hearts, (or Dexy´s) the nickname given to triangular blue tablets containing Dexamyl, a combination of Amphetamine and Barbiturate tablets and popular with 1960 Mods. Jimmy, the main character in the 1979 Who Film Quadrophenia, takes a large amount of Purple hearts at a Party then seems to have an attack of amphetamine psychosis...so not a drug to be played with.
Even after all the years it´s still got it´s Jigsaw style cover in one Piece!
The rear of the dust jacket... B-Side - Just To Please You/Guy Who Made Her A Star
