- UK Punk singles I bought, some on their first day of release, through 1976 - 77 - 78 - 79. part 1 - The first wave of bands. I was 16 years old. My sister was training to be a nurse and lived in a flat off Ladbroke Grove in London. When visiting, I was lucky to pick up the early first releases from vinyl shops in the area including the original Rough Trade shop. The list is roughly in the order I bought them in. I saw the Ramones at the roundhouse, the Damned in a scary pub in west London, My landlady who owned the Screen on the green put on one of the first Pistols gigs. I went on to learn some chords, dye my hair purple and joined a band.
I had all these ,, Bought on the day of Release as Well . BUT in 1991 I got Burgled and they Took the Lot . I won't Swear BUT did they know The Sentimental Meaning of Each and everyone of those Records . Once a Punk, Always a Punk . I'm now Crippled, In a Wheelchair and 64 yrs Old , BUT I Still Listen to Punk Music .
Let it Roll! ✌🏻😎💥
Man, that is a killer stack of 45s....love it, if u got more please show✌🎸
When Punk first appeared it was actually quite scary and exciting.
of course it was
because it was prison rape
Not only did you buy them then, you have kept them through all these years. Amazing.
I'm jealous - and to see you got Identity - an absolute gem, I don't know what to say.
It represents years of engagement in a thrilling period in music. Kudos.
Love the stories for each single, really makes a difference 👍
WoW 😲😲😲👍👍👍 Fantastic collection !!!
Top collection and fantastic stories. Thank you for sharing!
Cool - thanks for sharing Mike. Some of those 45s must be worth a bit now! I've got Spiral Scratch but only the later re-issue, as I only got into punk later, in 1979-84.
Great stuff Mike. Just shown my collection over two videos. What a. Great era
Love this video! Amazing collection!
NICE, Mike!
Very cool, got about 75% of them myself. Bored Teenagers, what a b side that was!!!! Oh, Bondage probably my favourite punk single ever. Thanks for sharing.
Brit Punk Rock from 77-78 's the Best. Sex Pistols Forever.
Great collection. All classic. Clash City Rockers and White Man in Hammersmith Palace both are 1978 and Cost Of Living is 1979 I think. Identity and No Time To Be 21 are also 1978. All these sound GREAT on a good playback system. At lease breaking levels is highly recommended.
An interesting clutch of punk singles there, Mike. I had a few of those- nearly all gone for 50p to a dealer as I recall. The Stranglers 'Walk on By' was in fact given free with the first few thousand copies of 'Black & White' LP. Yours is not purple but described as beige and thus very collectible.
Believe it or not Walk on By was actually issued with the first 75000 copies of B&W just goes to show how big record sales were in the 70s. Choosie Susie was released as a freebie with Rattus Norvegicus I think with the first 15000 copies
@@TheFairway8 I believe you're right. I seem to recall they issued an 'official' version of 'Walk on By' with Dione Warwick's head superimposed on Hugh Cornwell's body on the picture sleeve. Very eerie. I had 'Mony, Mony' and 'You better Believe Me' by Celia & the Mutations too.
@@brucevair-turnbull8082 yeah that's right the official release was as you say
Ah you’re right it must of arrived with my black and white album. I love the stranglers. I got to meet JJ Burnell when we played live at the roundhouse theatre before the pandemic.The Stranglers were in the main auditorium. I was a bit starstruck as he was the reason I started playing bass.
@@mikebears1850 he's certainly a cool guy
Really cool video and I loved seeing all of those Original Singles, really love all of The Clash Records as well as X-Ray Specs!
Nice little collection you got there. I have a few of them myself. I was most impressed with the Buzzcocks single with Howard Devoto. I have the 12 reasons vinyl with Howard Devoto on it. Still play them all.
Nice to see again 🙂 Exciting time for music 👍
Complete Control is such a fantastic jam
It was a very powerful song live.
Nice, severe memory jolt there! I wish i still had my picture sleeve 45 for Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks.
Great collection, the violators summer of 81, the mekons where were you, soizzenergi where's captain kirk, 3 gems I always go back too
'oy, Mike,
We're the same age, yet I, a staunch Midwesterner (USA) came from a different culture.
I imagine most other of my pleb brothers set the standard at ' Zepplin before a slow decay to factory labor, problem drinking and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I got a friend arrested trying to sneak in to a show, although, I can boast of strong arming my way into an original Who concert just on a street urchin's whim ...
We never knew Jack about Punk (yet Belushi died for our neglect).
I can recommend "Riot". written by my dear North Country friend and mentor. Subsequently, it was banned in Britain. Written in Bristol, early '80's, Riot was a ska flavored tome of migratory tension and unrest ... oops! Turns out they did.
That a and m god saves the queen is mega rare great collection
Great selection fella
These are worth a mint now, especially the A&M release of God Save The Queen.
Someone probably stole my import punk singles. I had those two Damned singles at the end. Also XTC and Jam picture sleeves.
What a great collection, have you any Johnny thunders records
Thanks 🙏 I’ve not got any Johnny Thunders but I’ll have a listen. I’m not a collector just a music fan.
If you can , Show us your collection How you organize... Thanks for this vídeo... cheers....
I’m not a collector just a music fan. They are all on a shelf by my record player.
Great collection
A real trip down memory lane . I’m sure Identity was pink vinyl . Also I’m surprised you don’t have Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks with picture sleeve , also Autonomy . Public Image with newspaper sleeve was 1978 , Hong Kong Garden by SATB , Sweet Suburbia by Skids on white vinyl , Slaughter & the Dogs 12” Where Have All The Bootboys Gone plus early stuff by Chelsea , Cortina’s etc . Still a great video though , brings back great memories.
I do have some of those, I just grabbed a few from the early days. I’m not a collector just a music fan.
Good very good more than good
If the Neat Neat Neat has a push out centre it's much rarer than the solid centre edition 🤘🤘🤘🤘
The Saints were so gooooooood
i write from Italy... i'm an old 65 years man... i was 18teen in 1977 and i have the large collection of punk records (singles and albums), in particular of SEX PISTOLS...i have see in your lot of singles one copy of A&M "God save the Queen".it's a reproulike mine or it's original?
Was that a God Save The Queen on A&M? Really nice collection!
Anarchy in the UK, por EMI una joya increíble!! Y el resto de tu colección es muy envidiable, te felicito!!
Oi..don't you know, that feckin A&M version of God save the Queen, is worth a Fortune... maybe £10000 to £15000 plus....hard to tell the condition from where, I'm watching.
Tell your kids
Is it original realise or bootleg? Because it's so rear and worth so much there's a lot of bootlegs of it flying about.
@@anthonybrennan2569 exactly what i was thinking - it was always the holy grail
coloque os discos do tempo de antimente eu adoro?
Ill give you a score for that god save the queen a&m mate. But seriously, how did you acquire a copy as it wasn't released. I knew a guy who claimed he sent a postal order to a&m and they sent him a copy. Never saw it though. Probably spoofing.
Mint!
Nice...
And this guy at least doesn' t talk too much !
You must have been young in 1976 if you’re 61 now in 2024
I want to hear the songs entirely
Spotify or Amazon music perhaps?
casually showing an A&M God Save The Queen there wow nice collection :))
My thoughts exactly, just brushed it aside! truly the holy grail of 7’’ vinyl, rare as rocking horse s**t, one sold for £15+ grand not so long ago
Holy fuck
That’s either a good or a bad reaction…. 😅
A decent honest appraisal for a change instead of the usual hipster liars, well done👍
This pains me! All my early punk rock singles were stolen by some smack junkies in a squat here in Amsterdam....
Great times, music today is dead
Uowww
Pistols$$$
A lot of punk had a distinct reggae flavour to it & I hate reggae.
That was the only Buzzcocks record with Howard Devoto. He left after that and formed Magazine. Pete Shelley took over as lead vocalist and guitarist
Nice. ...What no Heartbreakers...lol
That's what I said. Still a great collection 👌
I have a few heartbreakers just not in this small stack lol I’m not a collector just a music fan.
*I also remember the EXTREME danger of going to original punk shows. Stabbings, shooting, stranglings ... ... and that's NOTHING to when the venue might of wither collapsed or else burnt down. Hectic times*
