Label; Cherry Red

Format; 3CD Box

Cat. No. CRCDBOX78

Release Date; May 2024

Punk’s Year Zero was 1976. But very few Punk records were actually released that year. The most significant musical developments happened in 1977, with a burgeoning, self-supporting network of clubs, performers, fanzines, indie labels and distributors creating an unstoppable groundswell that would revolutionise UK music and have an enduring impact on pop culture.

Many of the year’s major breakthrough acts and cult favourites are included, including The Jam, The Damned, The Boomtown Rats, Buzzcocks, The Stranglers, Generation X, Sham 69, The Only Ones, The Rezillos, Ultravox!, 999, X-Ray Spex, ATV, The Boys and The Vibrators.

The deluxe clamshell package includes a weighty booklet full of illustrations, with a 15,000- word sleeve-note and band-by-band biographies by compiler David Wells.
