"Thumbs Off" is a classic track from The Clean's groundbreaking, and much sought after, 'Boodle Boodle Boodle' EP. This EP was what really kick-started the Flying Nun label and The Dunedin Sound genre gained momentum from here onwards (although, the genre wasn't really established at this point). It was in the NZ singles chart for months (even though it was a 12" EP)... so it is surprising that a good copy can now fetch over $100. Maybe because most people with a copy do not want to part with it. My first 'Clean' purchase was the next EP 'Great Sounds Great, Good Sounds Good, So-so Sounds So-so, Bad Sounds Bad, Rotten Sounds Rotten' released a year later. Maybe this one will become the nugget for collectors one day but I wouldn't be parting with my copy.
