  • UK Punk singles I bought, some on their first day of release, through 1976 - 77 - 78 - 79. part 1 - The first wave of bands. I was 16 years old. My sister was training to be a nurse and lived in a flat off Ladbroke Grove in London. When visiting, I was lucky to pick up the early first releases from vinyl shops in the area including the original Rough Trade shop. The list is roughly in the order I bought them in. I saw the Ramones at the roundhouse, the Damned in a scary pub in west London, My landlady who owned the Screen on the green put on one of the first Pistols gigs. I went on to learn some chords, dye my hair purple and joined a band.

    I had all these ,, Bought on the day of Release as Well . BUT in 1991 I got Burgled and they Took the Lot . I won't Swear BUT did they know The Sentimental Meaning of Each and everyone of those Records . Once a Punk, Always a Punk . I'm now Crippled, In a Wheelchair and 64 yrs Old , BUT I Still Listen to Punk Music .

    Great collection. All classic. Clash City Rockers and White Man in Hammersmith Palace both are 1978 and Cost Of Living is 1979 I think. Identity and No Time To Be 21 are also 1978. All these sound GREAT on a good playback system. At lease breaking levels is highly recommended.

    An interesting clutch of punk singles there, Mike. I had a few of those- nearly all gone for 50p to a dealer as I recall. The Stranglers 'Walk on By' was in fact given free with the first few thousand copies of 'Black & White' LP. Yours is not purple but described as beige and thus very collectible.

    • @TheFairway8
      @TheFairway8 Před rokem

      Believe it or not Walk on By was actually issued with the first 75000 copies of B&W just goes to show how big record sales were in the 70s. Choosie Susie was released as a freebie with Rattus Norvegicus I think with the first 15000 copies

    'oy, Mike,
    We're the same age, yet I, a staunch Midwesterner (USA) came from a different culture.
    I imagine most other of my pleb brothers set the standard at ' Zepplin before a slow decay to factory labor, problem drinking and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I got a friend arrested trying to sneak in to a show, although, I can boast of strong arming my way into an original Who concert just on a street urchin's whim ...
    We never knew Jack about Punk (yet Belushi died for our neglect).
    I can recommend "Riot". written by my dear North Country friend and mentor. Subsequently, it was banned in Britain. Written in Bristol, early '80's, Riot was a ska flavored tome of migratory tension and unrest ... oops! Turns out they did.

    A real trip down memory lane . I’m sure Identity was pink vinyl . Also I’m surprised you don’t have Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks with picture sleeve , also Autonomy . Public Image with newspaper sleeve was 1978 , Hong Kong Garden by SATB , Sweet Suburbia by Skids on white vinyl , Slaughter & the Dogs 12” Where Have All The Bootboys Gone plus early stuff by Chelsea , Cortina’s etc . Still a great video though , brings back great memories.
