75-track 3 CD collection of vintage Punk from 1980 and its many spin-offs.
Including 77 Punk troopers 999, The Damned, The Stranglers and The Vibrators plus “second wave” leaders The Ruts, The Members and Stiff Little Fingers.
Perfectly capturing Punk Rock in the UK in The soundtrack of a (de)generation.
Scaling the walls of system with the well-known: Sham 69, Adam And The Ants, UK Subs and The Skids to the ultra-obscure Intestines, The D.S., Auntie Pus and the brilliantly named Innocent Vicars.
With and 8000 word sleeve note where each band and track has a bio and all are illustrated with relevant picture sleeve.
Following on from Cherry Red’s critically acclaimed and commercially successful 1977, 1978 and 1979 compilations comes, surprise, surprise, ‘1980’. Subtitled “Brand New Rage” this 75-track 3 CD release covers the Punk scene of the day and its sub genres.
Also featuring the first fruits of Oi! via the Cockney Rejects and the Angelic Upstarts and the imminent UK/82 scene spearheaded by Discharge and The Exploited, plus Power Pop gems from The Stiffs, Richard & The Taxmen and The Elevators (and who can’t love a song called ‘Your I’s Are Too Close Together’?), and Max Splodge, The Dickies and Squad, who raise a flag for the Punk Pathetique movement while the Goths have Theatre Of Hate and UK Decay.
