'45 R.P.M.' was played throughout the UK and championed by unsuspecting DJ's and critics as the first release by a brand new band. It was only after the song entered the charts that The Alarm revealed the true identity of 'The Poppy Fields', thus causing a storm of worldwide media speculation with the band featuring on prime time America's CBS News with Dan Rather. The story is the inspiration behind 'Vinyl', a motion picture (recently released in 2013), starring Phil Daniels (Quadrophenia) and Keith Allen (Trainspotting) with an award winning soundtrack recorded by Mike Peters and The Alarm.
