There are a number of the mainstream punk bands featured but also a few rarer names. The first few bands that I will be selling are the DICKIES - SKIDS - CLASH - WIRE - SKREWDRIVER & THE REZILLOS to name a few. One of the rarest items is the 1st 7" single by SKREWDRIVER - "YOU'RE SO DUMB" Unfortunately after listing it last night the ebay police removed it as being "hateful material" so it is now live on AMAZON & DISCOGS instead see below for links

| CHISWICK S11 - 1st PRESSING - MATRIX A1/B1 1997 Discogs listings for Vinyl_Spurs Amazon listing for Vinyl_Spurs The single was initially released in the green cover in limited numbers and then I think there are a couple of other versions available one being an orange P/S. The band came from near Blackpool as you can see they have featured the Blackpool tower on the back cover. They started out as a punk band without any political agenda but this changed as the band evolved. Another band who were starting out about the same time were WIRE from London and they were signed to the prog label Harvest who were dabbling in the punk market with bands like WIRE - THE SAINTS & THE BANNED. Currently listed on ebay I have a great copy of their first 7" single MANEQUIN - HAR 5144 from 1977   ebay listing for WIRE 7" Vinyl_Spurs I was working in living and working in London at the time, but the punk era largely passed me by as I was already heavily into rock & prog! But now I think I can appreciate them a lot more. And recently went to see the Undertones & Stranglers some 30 years + past their heyday. Much more punk/alternative to follow especially some of the more diverse & bizarre bands.........see you again soon and thanks for reading. |
