Summary: the golden age of rock
Comment: This is an excellent compilation. Tracks from the usual suspects like Wire, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, and X-Ray Spex are supplemented by excellent tracks I had not heard by the likes of The Adverts and The Saints, plus others.The energy, freshness, and vitality of the music really comes through this mix.
I wish they could have included The Clash in this compilation... it seems like they very much belonged but could not be included for legal reasons.
I had preferred the work of New York punksters from the same era, i.e. Talking Heads, Television, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, etc. But this compilation has turned me on to some other bands from the U.K.; I just might end up liking the British Punk better.
