Description

Lightning Raiders – Criminal World / Citizens is a 12" single by London pub rock and punk band Lightning Raiders, led by guitarist Johnny "Little John" Hodge. "Criminal World" first came out in the UK in 1981 as a 7" on Revenge Records; in the Netherlands, Island Records issued both songs the same year as a 45 RPM 12" in its "Hard Rock On 12 Inch" series (cat. no. 600.435). It was produced by Gordon Hale and Reid-Dick. Shortly afterwards, in December 1981, Island dropped the band. This copy is the 1981 Dutch original pressing.
