THE SKIDS - 1977-1982 from Scotland (Dunfermline)
THE DAMNED - from London & probably one of the most well known punk bands with multiple band member changes down the years.
STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - from Belfast started out during the punk explosion of 1977
THE VIBRATORS - Another London band and like many still playing today
THE PLEASERS - From London/Surrey more pop than punk I guess but like others bundled into punk genre sometimes.
SHRINK - I think he was from London but not 100% sure
THE CORTINAS - Are from Bristol and the single shown "Fascist Dictator" was their first
999 - Another London band with quite a large output of vinyl in their heyday
THE REZILLOS - From Edinburgh still around today and probably one of the most sucessful bands
All the above vinyl is currently available from Vinyl_Spurs
THE DICKIES - Are from California and some people refer to them as "bubble gum punk"
3 of their early singles are shown below, all released on coloured vinyl on the A&M label
Give it Back AMS 7391 - Eve of Destruction AMS 7373 - Banana Splits AMS 7431
Banana Splits of course being the theme tune for the famous US TV programme of the same name..all togther now ..Tra la la
Finally today here is a rare punk 7" from American Band called Human Sexual Response
Z2 on the bizarrely named "don't fall off the mountain" record label- The single released slightly later than most of the above in 1981 entitled "What does sex mean to me?"
Of course there are many many more punk bands from around the world, and the genre remains to be one of the most collectable genres in music/vinyl
