In the Beginning: a Live Anthology 1977-81

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Slits

Release Date September 24, 2007
I give this five stars, because it is quite simply brilliant, but I don't think that this is the place to start listening to the Slits. My advice would be to know (and love) "Cut" before approaching this album.

Before buying the album, I wondered whether 8 low-fi punk era tracks, followed by 7 hi-fi dub era tracks would work as a whole. Weirdly, it works very well. And the more often I listen, the better it works.

Entertaining Friends: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon - March 1979

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Buzzcocks

Release Date May 13, 1996
Definitely a quality performance from the Buzzcocks, one of the great 1st generation Punk bands of the 70's onwards and still playing live to this day, very good quality sound too which is a bonus, because as rightly pointed out, a lot of bands years ago had poor quality recordings of live performances doing the rounds, so this is well worth the money.

Manscape

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Wire

Release Date December 31, 1993
I put this in the CD player, pressed play and actually stopped and took it out to make sure I hadn't put in a disc by a dreadful 80's synth pop band. Sadly it was Wire!! Now I love the first three Wire albums and the latest two and everything in between has until now been a mystery to me. I wish it had remained that way. I mean what were they thinking? This is the worst kind of rubbish and completely lacks their sound, humour, quirkyness and tunefulness. Whatever happens do not buy, this is only good for an interesting coaster unless I can offload it on somebody else on e.bay.

The Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Stranglers

Release Date April 14, 1997
What the 2 reviewers fail to mention is that it includes a very poor live performance of Straighten Out. For those wanting only studio tracks then this is not necessarily for you.

That's Life

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Sham 69

Release Date February 26, 2008
A classic sham 69 album. This is one of the most original punk album with the story line in between each track making it seem like the a day in the life of the average working class man. There are some real classic songs on here with the great hurry up harry and one of my favourate sham songs angels with dirty faces. Also, unlike thier first album tell us the truth, theres a mixture of music styles from the acoustic everybodys wrong everybodys right, the reggae on the pick up tracks and obviously the hard punk from the rest.

The Best of the Wipers

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Wipers

Release Date December 23, 1999
This is a GOOD compilation.It gives you an idea of what this band was all
about ,covering all their phases and also Sages' own work.I admit that my
choises would have been slightly different in some cases but that's just my opinion.But please don't stop here-there are so much more to discover
in their whole line of work.Top honors for the ones responsible for including the very hard to find "No solution" and "My vengeance" in this.
I would buy this record for these two songs only."My vengeance" redefines
the term "dynamite".Hear it loud and your world will never be
the same again...

Ten More Turnips from the Tip

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Ian Dury

Release Date March 18, 2002
i love music. i listen and buy it all the time. every few years something blows you away. "one love" did just that. a love song that is heartfelt without manufactured sugar or sentimentality. i am amazed this was not a hit single . everyone i play it to loves it. in a way i am glad. it remains fresh and mine. robbie williams contribution is excellent .great work without the hype that normally folows him and distracts from the music.

buy this. you wont regret it.

Filthy Lucre Live

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Punk
by: Sex Pistols

Release Date July 29, 1996
A lifelong fan of the Sex Pistols and their no-nonsense attitude toward all that they surveyed, I relished the chance to actually attend the gig this CD was recorded from. 12 hours of a summer's day spent in Finsbury Park watching punk bands, some old and some new, topped off by the boys (by that time 40+) doing what they did best. And yes, it was a pay day they wanted - just look at the tour name if you have any doubts!

Live CDs can't always capture the electric atmosphere of actually being there to see the show, but this one does a very good job! Some of the memories of the show may fade, but those down on CD can stay with you. The editing might not be great, missing out some of Johnny's comments and even a couple of songs - they were announced by England ... Read More:
