New edition of this WICKED post-punk collection from the great Jon Savage complete with revised track-listing & artwork with extensive liner-notes, colour inner-sleeves.

Post-punk luminaries including Wire, Joy Division and the Prefects - not so 'secret' you may think, but consider the nascent lo-fi Subway Sect, the uncompromising other-worldly sounds of impLOG's 'Holland Tunnel Dive' and the hyper obscure experimentalism of File Under Pop and you're getting the idea. From Pere Ubu's dystopian madness to the motorik of Chrome, it's a snapshot of a brief era, excellently put together by Jon Savage writer (and co-editor of Soul Jazz's Punk 45 book, records etc).

Essential release!
