Gary Crowley's Punk & New Wave 2 / Various (Blk) [LP] Vinyl Record

Following on from the highly popular first volume of Gary Crowley's Punk & New Wave, Demon Records are proud to introduce Vol.2. "Alongside my rhythm pal Jim Lahat, we've once again pillaged our respective music collections to bring you a highly personal and extremely eclectic selection of gems, mined from the rich seam that was the late '70s/early '80s." A period when a raft of bands and artists imbued a new energy into the country's musical culture. This cut-down 2LP, 28 track collection features some of the biggest names from this period such as The Clash, Ramones, The Jam, X-Ray Spex, The Cure and The Slits. Alongside the bigger names Gary & Jim also shine a light on the lesser known bands, those who might have left just the one great single in their wake such as The Limit, Gary Valentine, The Times and The Limps. Many of these incredibly rare tracks appearing on a compilation for the very first time. "For both Jim and I, punk infused our souls and turned our lives upside down. For us, Punk was always about the spirit, looking ahead, with a sense of experimentation. That's what we loved, and hopefully this speedy and lively mix reflects that." Remastered by Phil Kinrade at Alchemy Mastering and pressed on 140g Black Vinyl.
