Every One a (Punk Rock) Classic Volume 2

To recap our starting point, "The Every One A Classic series of bootlegs (now all out-of-print) are well-curated exhibits of U.K. obscurities of the late seventies. The series' pieces lie somewhere between the glorious wussiness of the Shake Some Action or Powerpearls series and the caustic primitiveness of the Killed by Death or Bloodstains series".



As a series EOAC continues primarily in it's mid-tempo, shout-along vein, (think the Professionals) but that's no weakness. Highlights of this wing include the blistering"YT502951D" which sounds like a cross between Dr. Feelgood and the Subhumans (UK 'natch), the crunching mod-punk of Sta-prest's "Schooldays" and the keyboard-y new wave of "The Telephone Rings Again" by the Not Sensibles. Then, finally, for a song where the interplay of each strum, thump and bang is designed for maximum dynamic impact and whose wide-screened chorus will bore right through your skull, don't miss Radio City's "Love and a Picture". (Maybe someone - hello Low Down Kids/45 Revolutions - can tell us something about this band who, for all the internet info on them, seem to have never existed!)





Possible curios include the Kidz Next Door featuring the lesser of the Pursey brother following in the footseps of his brother's band, Sham 69 (but don't miss the superior a-side here) or Cyanide's thuggish though not charmless take on "I'm a Boy".
