I fancied putting up some of my favourite tracks from a brilliant period in music, mid 1978 to the beginning of 1981. This era became known as 'post-punk' and some of the greatest music ever sprang from this short but incredibly creative period. I bought all of these records when they were originally released, the majority are singles but there are a couple of lp tracks (Siouxsie & The Banshees, B52's) and I think the Tubeway Army track was a 12" b side as well as an LP track. The Jam's opener is the long version from the LP also. I've used the 'newspaper' sleeve from Public Image's first single to accompany this podcast as I think, of all the truly great singles released in that 3 year period, this is probably the greatest track from the entire era. If anyone likes this, I've got endless amounts of 45's from this period.
