Formed in 1979, seven-piece all-girl band the Bodysnatchers had only recently learned to play their instruments, but received lots of interest after their first gig in November 1979 supporting the Nips.

They recorded a speeded-up version of "Let's Do Rock Steady" with producer Roger Lomas (known for his work with other ska bands such as the Selecter and Bad Manners).

[3] Reviewing for Record Mirror, Mike Nicholls wrote: "Irresistible flippancy from 2-Tone's all-boiler outfit who have unquestionably produced the label's catchiest stab to date.

Recorded immediately following their signature under a month ago, the arrogant Rhoda is vocally assisted by the delicious SJ, whose axe whacks work even more of a treat than Miranda's sax and Pennie's [sic] keys".

[7] Kelly Pike for Smash Hits described it as "a promising debut release" with "a bouncy bluebeat, though not quite of Specials standard, while "Ruder Than You" with its toytown organ is far better – as catchy as flu and ten times more enjoyable".
