The initial Biff Bang Pow! line-up was McGee on guitar and vocals, with Dick Green on guitar, Slaughter Joe (Joe Foster) on bass, and Ken Popple on drums, these recording the first 2 singles "50 Years of Fun" and "There Must Be A Better Life".
Dave Evans then replaced Foster (who went solo as Slaughter Joe), and guitarist/organist Andrew Innes (later to join Primal Scream) joined on a part-time basis.

The lyrics to Biff Bang Pow!'s song "Fifty Years of Fun" express the struggles of a relationship in which the chemistry seems to have fizzled out, and the two parties involved are struggling to communicate honestly. The chorus of the song, "jaemieobseo," means "I'm keeping silent," which conveys the ongoing lack of effective communication between the two individuals. The song is sung mainly in Korean, but there are also occasional lines in English.
The lyrics go on to describe the feelings of frustration and uncertainty that come with a relationship that seems to be on the rocks. The singer notes that they have tried to make things work but that the other person doesn't seem interested in communicating or making a real effort. The mood of the song is melancholy and reflective, with a sense of longing for something that has been lost.
Overall, "Fifty Years of Fun" is a poignant exploration of the difficulties that can arise in a relationship. The lyrics capture the sense of frustration and alienation that can come when two people struggle to communicate honestly and openly. It's a reminder that even in the midst of difficult times, it's essential to keep trying to reach out and make things work.

I remember buying this on release from Armadillo records in Bournemouth (he had one copy) Still got it, along with a reply from the band after writing off to them about future releases. B side was even better!

Thanks for uploading! Any chance you could put the b side up at some point?

Need to find out what the song is on the creation stories film that they’re playing. Somebody said it’s this, but doesn’t sound like the same song to me
