Love all three: I was one of the few people who bought that Johnny Moped album. Vote for LLL, though, because that really is a standout.
I have that NME cassette - was a cover-mounted freebie I seem to remember - but the only tracks on it I didn't already own on vinyl were Shane's band, the Stranglers and Victim: the last named I have no memory of at all.

That one's kind of pop-punk, a borderline novelty from (I think) N. Ireland. It's fun, but nothing compared to the three I posted, in my opinion.

Johnny Moped is the kind of punk that dated really badly, shows that sometimes learning three chords wasn't enough (or perhaps too much?).
Love Lies Limp is a lovely languid lyrical limpid ...lets stop with the alliteration thing. Yeah, I quite like that, the vocal is slightly annoying, but I can get into the mood of that one.
True Confessions is almost the same kind of dated punk that Johnny Moped was, but it shows the benefit of having a distinctive vocalist, and a structure that emphasises the spiky guitar. Pretty good.

The chord progression in Incendiary Device is great, but the singer lets it down with his wordiness. If he had gone a bit more melodic it might've been a smash.
Who doesn't like a bit of nasally-voiced British reggae? Me, for one.
I've loved True Confessions for a long time, and also haven't heard it in a long time, so it easily gets the vote.
