Information from Godiva Rocks Pete Chambers.

"Its not yer 1234 punk more but a sound more akin to ATV but with humour. Never ones to take themselves seriously one of their last recordings was 'Jennifer Connifer' but that doesn't excuse naming a song Leamington (after Leamington Spa). If they don't make you smile then something's missing." From this site http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/shapes.htm

They were on or played by John Peel. They are on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/theoriginalshapes
