Whilst the other reviews here voice some legitimate concerns about "Pretty Vacant,A History Of Punk" ,there are a few plus points that make this set a worthwhile purchase.
The dvd for example boasts some very hard to get video clips of seminal bands like The Ruts,Buzzcocks[the 1978 version!],Stranglers,and Stiff Little Fingers,as well as some oddities like 999[the brilliant" Emergancy",complete with state of the art circa 1978 bleaching effects],and XTC's not very punk,but very welcome, "Making Plans For Nigel".There are a few missable tarcks as well,but overall i'm kind of glad to have these to watch when i'm feeling nostalgic.
The cd is also very hit and miss,but it includes classic tracks like "Your Generation",by Generation X,Up Against The Wall,by the Tom Robinson Band,and the cut version of XTC's Statue of Liberty.
Not a definitive collection,and a bit cobbled together,but great value with a few real gems tucked away on both formats.For that alone its worth a decent rating
