Suzi is a Heartbreaker So Mr Strummer, I have complete control and in many ways that is great, but I am exhausted and I haven’t slept properly for three months. I agonise over every detail of the Jenga Society release, knowing that for the most part, the main person that could let me down is me. (Not entirely true, I am relying on others but it is me who is managing them and trying to work out reasonable expectations of them). Looking back, 1984 was a hectic year for the Neurotics, supporting the Miners in their Strike against the Empire and also a frustrating one. That was because after recording three tracks (Suzi is a Heartbreaker, Fools and When I Need You) for a new single, our label Razor decided that they were not going to release singles anymore. We felt that singles were vitally important to us and so we spent the good part of a year haranguing them to get our single released. They steadfastly refused, although they were happy to do an album with us. Eventually we found out that Jungle Records was eager to sign us and by a miracle of co-operation, Razor gave us up (I suppose after their palms were crossed with silver) and we signed to Jungle. Then, the Suzi single came out on No Wonder Records distributed by Jungle. After that all subsequent releases were on Jungle. https://youtube/watch?v=7M0ZYm1ULcA More on what inspired this song can be found at jengasociety.blogspot.co.uk
