@116767443454152796353 Yeah, It's in the same vein as Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop" and the Velvet Underground's "The Gift". I mean, it's one of those songs you experience once and you're never quite the same again. Certainly a powerful and important song but not one I can honestly say I hit the "repeat" button with very often!

Just seen this on a Punk Documentary that I recorded ages ago. I remember when it came out, no idea what station I heard it on though it was on the radio. It sent shivers down me....

Apparently Jerry Dammers said once it was the first record ever released that was only meant to be listened to once

Oh my lord, the first time I heard this record it was 1993 , I think when that 2 Tone compilation album came out. I heard this song and I liked three things about it. That jazzy ska beat, Rhoda's cockney accent and her storytelling. But towards the end it became clear that her story wouldnt end well. But one thing I really didnt expected were those blood-curdling screams. It was absolutely horrific. It read somewhere a few years ago that Jerry Dammers said that this record was meant to be heard only once. Well, mission accomplished, cos after playin' it for the first time back in 93, I never played it again. I used to skip it whenever I played that album. I was very glad to discover there also is an instrumental version, which I play often. Never knew she had the guts to perform this on a tv show.

I first heard this song when Fiona Rave ( Venus Flytrap) and Charlotte Bill made a performance art piece of it in '84. I knew ( the music) of Rhoda, the Bodysnatchers, The Specials etc but never heard it before then and was struck because it was so true to , well, everyone's experience back in the day and date rape was a huge taboo: it really was like , the only 'guiltless' rape or assault victims were if some loony had grabbed you in broad daylight while you were wearing a puff jacket and yes if you accepted drinks from some bloke he somehow 'deserved' something back or you were a cocktease. Rhoda performing this song live like this was so incredibly fucking brave. And I'm sure she did more good then ten government campains: I bet she stopped rape attempts happening at the very gigs she did it. Rhoda, you're a hero and this made me a life long fan. I still am, and glad she recently brought the CD out she should have made a long time ago, go and get it folks. X love you !

Still amazing and one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard. Musically fantastic but very difficult to 'enjoy' on any level it still hits as hard as ever. I only ever listen to it once in a blue moon cos... well, I shouldn't have to explain.

I´ve heard Jack Halbersteam, a researcher about feminism, genders and sexuality, presenting female punk and she gave us this example. She mentioned the BBC did not want to publish the full scream at the end, it would have last for about 2 minutes. Thats why they did simply cut.
