picked this up at Aquarius Records in SF and know you will all LOVE it

Chin Chin - We Don't Wanna Be Prisoners 7" (Mississippi Records)

"From Biel Switzerland comes this little known
group. One of the few all-girl bands (along with Kleenex/Lilliput) to
come out of the early '80s Swiss punk scene. Chin Chin definitely
considered themselves a punk band. Although their catchy pop vocals and
harmonies strongly align them with the burgeoning C86 scene. They
shared bills with The Shop Assistants, Television Personalities, The
Pogues and New Model Army, before the band drifted into obscurity. This
7" was originally released in 1984 on the band's own, Farmer Records.
It contains 3 self-penned songs and marks their first and punkest
release. Keep your eyes peeled for their full length LP out soon as a
split between the Mississippi and Slumberland labels."
