The band released their debut studio album '' The Only Ones '' in 1978 , which was well received by both reviewers and fans . The band 's follow-up album , '' Even Serpents Shine '' , was released the following year . A year later , they released their final studio album , '' Baby 's Got a Gun '' . In the summer of 1980 , they supported the Who on their tour of the United States , and in 1982 the band officially disbanded . In subsequent years , the Only Ones retained a following and their posthumously released records – live performances , BBC Television and radio shows , and compilation albums – now outnumber their studio albums .
