Following on from the success of 2017's acclaimed box set, broadcaster Gary Crowley has announced Gary Crowley's Punk & New Wave Vol.2.
As with the original set, which took its inspiration from Lenny Kaye's legendary Nuggets compilation, Crowley and co-conspirator Jim Lahat have dug deep into the original era's darker recesses to compile this mammoth 77-track set.
Once again, the pair have come up with the usual big names such as The Clash, Ramones, The Jam, The Undertones, The Stranglers, Generation X, etc, but they've avoided the punk disco staples in favour of tracks that don't so often appear on compilations.
They've also racked up a bunch of little heard sides from bands that rarely if ever get a look-in, including The Dole, The Limit, The Art Attacks, Liquid Stone, The Trend, The Wardens, The Oral Exciters and more.
Available as a six-LP or 4-CD set, the compilation comes complete with a 32-page booklet with track-by-track guide and firsthand anecdotes from the likes of Viv Albertine (The Slits), Damian O’Neill (The Undertones), Glen Matlock, Gary Valentine, Mike Sweeney (Salford Jets) and others.
Check out the trailer...
The compilation is also available as a 28-track double LP.
Released through Demon/Edsel, Gary Crowley's Punk & New Wave Vol.2 is available here.
