DESCRIPTION
Four CDs. Following on from the highly popular first volume of Gary Crowley's Punk & New Wave, Demon Records are proud to introduce Vol.2. A period when a raft of bands and artists imbued a new energy into the country's musical culture. This mega 77 track collection features some of the biggest names from this period such as The Clash, Ramones, The Jam, The Cure and The Slits. Alongside the bigger names, this set shines a light on the lesser known bands, those who might have left just the one great single in their wake such as The Limit, Gary Valentine, The Wardens, Basement 5 and The Limps. Many of these incredibly rare tracks appearing here for the very first time on CD. The collection features a 32 page booklet which includes an introduction and track by track notes alongside band anecdotes from the likes of Viv Albertine (The Slits), Damian O'Neill (The Undertones), Glen Matlock (Rich Kids), Gary Valentine, Mike Sweeney (Salford Jets) and more. Completing the package is a sublime selection of fascinating photos and memorabilia depicting this period of UK music culture like nothing else out there.
