Wow! Here is the next eagerly awaited next volume in this highly collectable Punk Rock series. It has only been 18 months since the last volume came out so we feel we must be doing something right!

As per usual it comes with a sixteen page A5 glossy booklet with liner notes and rare unseen photos from the bands themselves.

We love doing these albums and pride ourselves on how the series have become such an important series to collect and we feel they are what the Pebble and Rubble series did for all the undiscovered 60s Punk/Beat garage tracks that have now become a staple diet of essential music to listen to and collect!

Side one kicks off with the very first demo tracks that THE JOLT ever recorded up in at CaVa Studio, Glasgow in April 1977 and thankfully they still had the master tapes. They recorded ten tracks in total, six are featured here direct off the master tape. The other four were re-recorded a few months later and released on Polydor Records. (Decoyed / You're Cold / I'm Leaving / Everybody's the Same). The next band THE VULTURES are a band from the Middlesbrough / Teesside area and actually released a single called 'Let's go' in 1979. The first two tracks featured here are a great slice of early punk and were actually recorded a year before the single and featured a different singer.

Now onto side two, INTERFERENCE kicks it off. A Newly discovered band for me that was recommended to us from a collector of the series who knew they would fit in perfectly and he couldn't of been more correct!. They hailed from North Lancashire and had the pleasure of Supporting The Clash on the 16 tons Tour @ Lancaster University Great Hall on Wednesday 23rd January 1980. They also appeared on the Granada TV Program 'World In Action' and recorded several demo tracks but sadly they haven't got access to the masters as of yet!. Next up in DEADLOCK from Aldershot and formed in 1979. These tracks are from their very first demo before they had a line-up change. The style was classic punk, with guitar hooks and chant-along choruses. Next up is the band THE LOST from Maldon, Chelmsford who shone brightly for a very small time but did manage to record these two tracks and then they were gone! Incidentally, the singer then reappeared again as the manager of The Accidents who were also from Maldon. Side two closes with a band from Liverpool who were known as Reiner Chaos in the early 80s and after a small line-up change they reappeared as DAS REINER. This band had a huge local following and looked the part and should of gone onto bigger things. The tracks featured here are from the original master tapes!
