ReviewArtwork shows the obligatory safety pin so this must be cutting edge (or so the advertising gurus will want us to think). What you actually get is a good run through some of the great pop releases that hit the UK charts during 1978 - 83 with a few obscure gems chucked in to meet the punk tag.
Disc one features a few early punk tracks from The Damned, Ramones and Richard Hell but is mostly great power pop tunes from the likes of Buzzcocks, Skids, Rezillos. Automatic Lover by The Vibrators is a good one that does not turn up on these complications that often.
Disc two carries on the power pop theme with Blondie, Pretenders, Regents but again slips a the odd more obscure one such as Shake Some Action from the Flamin' Groovies. Split Enz and The Mobiles... both good songs but really stretching the genre to include them on this compilation (I always thought of The Mobiles as Hazel O'Connor soundalikes).
Disc 3 again has some great tracks that at the time were marketed as New WaveAlternative but again more power pop oriented. One or two real gems are there with The Damned, 999, and Wreckless Eric. Nice to see Glen Matlock's Rich Kids getting an entry.
All of this is music of my youth so I don't personally think there is a bad song on any of the three discs. Overall a big thumbs up from me especially as it can picked up on ebay for just a few pounds.
