Punk And Disorderly The Albums - The Sound Of Uk82
This three CD 64 track digi-pak box set concentrates on one of the most successful Punk compilation series ever, “Punk And Disorderly”. 1 came out in March 1982 and reached No.48 in the UK National Charts as well as spending nigh on eight months in the Independent Chart, peaking at No.3. Seminal Indie Chart hits from the likes of Dead Kennedys, Blitz, Vice Squad and G.B.H. helped establish the format of the series and quickly caught the imagination of the Punk buying public. Bonus tracks from Anti Nowhere League, The Defects, Discharge, The Lurkers and Special Duties have been added to this first disc. “Further Charges” was released in September 1982 and sneaked into the UK National Chart at No.91 as well as reaching No. 6 in the Independent version. Another 16 Indie Chart hit singles highlighting the “UK82” Punk scene were gathered together by original label Anagram Records and we’ve now added bonus cuts from Dead Man’s Shadow, Instant Agony, Last Rites, Mau Maus and The Varukers. Disc 3 concentrates on third volume “Final Solution” which came out in the summer of 1983 and hit No.10 in the Independent Chart. Alongside the likes of Punk stalwarts U.K. Subs, Angelic Upstarts and Newtown Neurotics were “UK82” heroes like The Exploited, Adicts and Abrasive Wheels. Again we have added bonus material courtesy of Dead Wretched, External Menace, Resistance 77, Major Accident, Riot Squad and The Blood, each track from an Indie Chart hit single. The booklet contains detailed liner notes and pictures of all related singles. Like our recent successful “UK82” releases that focused on the No Future and Riot City labels we expect strong demand and positive reviews for “Punk And Disorderly – The Albums”.
