Nope.  Not that I'm trying to pick on old UK punk acts or anything 
today, but no, there is nothing else in the Only Ones catalogue that 
touches that single.  If you know that going in, you're less likely to 
be disappointed, which is a good thing, because they're not that bad. 
Just bear in mind that the Only Ones owe a LOT more to Mott the Hoople 
than to the Buzzcocks: they were only vaguely associated with the punk 
scene (the drummer had been in Spooky Tooth!), and were more of a 
tougher-than-average mainstream '70s rock band that saw the wisdom of 
wearing short hair and black suits.
