Earlier in 1980, probably June, a chance meeting at Dial House between Zounds and members of Dutch group Cheap 'n' Nasty led to an agreement to tour Europe. Later in the year Steve travelled to Leiden and hung out with Herman from Cheap 'n' Nasty; Between them they organized this tour.
More info and photos can be found at the Bacteria website. Have a dig around, there's loads of great info regarding Dutch punk and commentary of this tour.

Zounds announce the forthcoming recording of a new EP on their 'own label'. Tracks to be included are:

Evidently this idea was superceded by an agreement with Rough Trade and the subsequent recording of the album containing these tracks.
