After releasing their early punk classic Pure Mania and touring with Iggy Pop, The Vibrators continued with the follow-up album V2 ten months later.
V2 was a commercial success, landing in the UK album top 40. The single "Automatic Lover" even led to a Top of the Pops appearance. The album also contains the punk classic "Troops Of Tomorrow", which became a highly acclaimed cover by Scottish punk band The Exploited.
