I bought this CD second hand and it has to be one of the best buys I'veever made. This album brings together punk and new wave classics, and acts as a great introduction to the music from the late 1970s/early 1980s. It even reminds me of a time I wasn't even alive in, and that can only be a good thing. Anyone interested in music from this era should start with this album, and see how great music was back then. Even if you don't like all the tracks, I guarantee that 'Another Girl Another Planet' will become one of your favourite songs ever.

If you were born in the mid 1960's this CD will perfectly recreate your teens. A wonderfully diverse collection of raw, sometimes violent, always powerful tunes. I must've listened to this CD (and previously the tape) more than any other I own. GET IT !!!!

Imagine the best ever Top of the Pops from 1979 - it's all here. Obviously I've wiped Kiki Dee and all the rubbish they actually played on TOTP from my memory. Read more

Great Album - but a trivia question that I can't answer
A superb album so that we can all sit back with our Espresso Lattes with one eye on BBC News 24 and listen to what was going on in our rebellious past. Read more
