The Flying Lizards took on the punk ethic of DIY... but may have forgotten to buy proper instruments and if they had a budget it was more than likely spent on a round at the pub. Ironically, their cover of Barrett Strong's "Money" earned them lots of the stuff. It was an unlikely worldwide hit in 1979... quite impressive really when you consider that this was a time when overproducing was the norm.
