What I know about SPEEDWAY could be written on a postage stamp, the web wasn't much help either, but hey this is a lost little gem. Released on Fantasy Ashtray Records around 1994/95, it sounds like an amphetamine fuelled Only Ones. The lead track Pedigree Scum is a blistering attack on a class ridden society "Rich kids in the house of lords/you're so inbred you look deformed" the other 2 tracks Imitation Of Life and 26 Years are top grade shit as well. For all lovers of 90's Punk Rawk, file under early Manics, S*M*A*S*H and Fabulous. Highly recommended, you all know what to do.....CLICK!

Great post (again!!!). Pedigree Scum is a superb track, excellent lyrics.
Don't know much about the band but did see them support The Ramones in Brixton once. Main man behind the band is the unstoppable Sean McLusky. He was in Subway Sect, then Jo-Boxers, If? and loads more. He's still a 'face' on the London nightclub scene.
Cheers for posting this - love the first track 'Pedigree Scum' particularly; somehow missed this mob when they were around, must have been due to having young kids....
