Before Insomnia. I taped Pete Tong’s first playing of this. What a finale, those sounds from Sister Bliss from 7:30.

Greatest DEBUT singlesThere are many greatest singles.
I am being quite selective here. I am not posting anything that is simply great.
New Rose was pretty damned good as well (I had to look it up)I think you've missed a bit of the thread title H
Greatest debut single
There’s loads I can think of but three which came out of nowhere and shook things up are:
Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK
Frankie - Relax
Kraftwerk - Autobahn.
Last one is their debut single but it took them until their 3rd album to release a single.

I was trying to remember their first single as they were my all time favourite punk band. I saw them on their first tour , but I'm unsure if they went back to NYC in between the Roundhouse gig and that. John Robb's book has a great description of the Roundhouse gig and the disbelief of the British punk bands about how fast the Ramones were playing.
All the singles I have posted are debut singles.
Many singles have been posted, by me and by others.
Together they are a candidate list of greatest debut singles.
At least one poster has included several singles in one post, yet you pick on me. Am I Zeberdi in disguise?
The one quibble about what I have posted may be The Fall. It depends whether you call an e.p. a single. I don't. So what I posted was their (amazing) debut single that was an ear worm for me for months (the singing bit at the end of the track).
Look, you know what I'm like. I only piss about when I'm pissing about. (I learned how to not abuse the daily best track thread the hard way). At all other times I'm deadly serious. And pedantic. And rude. So f*** off

And the set comprised of about 20 songs, without a break for breath, and lasted a full 35 minutes. It was mental. Can't recall which of the gigs this was. Evidently a Sunday afternoon.
I have tried to avoid including artists with very limited 'success' aside from the debut single. But I must sat that Wonderful Life is magical and worth inclusion.
Oddly however I think that Jig a jig is the worst track on the magical debut album by East of Eden.
(Never heard of trans x)

Surprised nobody has posted this
Sadly Caravan's debut single is shit.
But this is magic,

Not in UK, famously never released singles here in their heyday.
