Stiff Little Fingers' first single, "Suspect Device," was released on Rigid Digits Records, an independent record label founded by the band and managers Gordon Ogilvie and Colin McClelland.  McClelland, an established music journalist, had corresponded with Jake Burns prior to seeing them in concert and was hugely instrumental in getting the band into the studio for the first time.

In this interview, Colin McClelland discusses his early experiences with rock 'n' roll, his introduction to Stiff Little Fingers, and the many trials the band faced in getting a record pressed and distributed.
