• The 3CD set ‘1977: The Year Punk Broke’ examined the UK punk explosion in microscopic detail, prompting rave reviews, this follow up studied 1978 – or, to paraphrase the late, great Poly Styrene, The Year The UK Turned Day-Glo.
• Over three glorious, packed-to-the-brim CDs, the sounds of 1978 witnesses the original punk template fractured into a dazzling day-glo riot of sub-genres: new wave, post- punk, proto-Oi, power-pop, punk poets, the mod revival, ska-punk, synth-oriented electronic/industrial music and a whole load of additional noises.
• Documenting various regional scenes, paying close attention to the likes of Manchester, Scotland and, in particular, Northern Ireland, where the arrival of punk was a life- affirming relief from the horrors of everyday life.
From household names (The Jam, The Stranglers, The Cure, Public Image Ltd) to groups who barely progressed beyond their own bedrooms, major label careerists to DIY enthusiasts, one-off mavericks (led by the blessed Jilted John) to songs specifically crafted as hit singles, every aspect of a vibrant, multi-faceted scene is represented on our marathon four-hour, 79-track anthology.
