V.A. White Dopes on Punk: 50 Punk & New Wave Rarities [2005]



The world needs a '77-era punk version of Nuggets series, one that focuses on the lesser-knowns of the era rather than the same old names ad nauseum. However, rather then break new (old) ground by doing their own version of Killed By Death, re-issue mavens like Rhino Records make do with re-capitulations of the obvious like No Thanks.





Castle Music's 2005 collection White Dopes on Punk limits the obvious choices (Sham 69, Damned, Adverts, UK Subs, Eater, Slaughter & the Dogs do make it on) but mostly features more obscure bands. To be fair,  it's a bit of a mess. In the 51 [!] tracks herein you get KBD bands like Cyanide, Genocide, Powerpearls bands bands like the Distractions, Tin Openers and The Out, more Messthetics entries like John Cooper Clarke, Gyro not mention a few entries that are more so tangentially related to punk rock (Deaf School, The Fabulous Poodles, Dead Fingers) plus quite a few punxsploitation 'bands' like Jilted John, The Water Pistols and The Punkettes. All in all, it's a pretty glorious mess.

  2. A big YES to track-by-track editing, please. It's the only way to make sense of 51 songs, and choose between the keepers and the losers.

    Many thanks - really looking forward to listening to this.

    Since you ask, yes - it would have been a lot neater having individual, properly tagged tracks. Now I'll have to do all that hard work myself!

    Thanks again. Keep up the great work!

  6. Dont waste Your time and particulary cash, on this less then ordinary compilation....even not a rare as someone thought...If You looking for good choice of punk music from glorious years and at least rare try with Bored Teenagers comps...or some bootlegs like Bloodstains Across UK or England Belongs To Me or few other really nice efforts instead this one...

  11. Thank you ! With the cue file you can have all the separate flac tracks with medieval cue spliter, but in the files, there is only the cue file (no flac file) and mp3, no flac files. Never mind the filesnames, here comes the double nuggets.

    1. Okay, now I feel ignorant. Not because I hadn't thought of that but because I have NO idea how one would use cue files to separate anything.
