13 By Midnight A1

 

PUNK and NEW WAVE from the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN 1976 – 1981 

 

As I’m parting with a good deal of my New Wave and Punk collection, it’s about time to take some kind of balance. What’s better than giving you examples of what determined my musical life – as opposed to Stadium Rock. We were suddenly young again, brimful with testosterone. Cutting our hair short and dressing in vintage clothes. Our Indian kaftans were suddenly obsolete.

Now I’d like to share some sounds with you. At irregular intervals I’ll upload Punk and New Wave music that’s been around my house and ears for 40+ years. All genuine homemade Rock ‘n’ Rawl, despite the New Wave drones. Independent labels was the word then. And you won’t find many songs released on major labels here.

Stay tuned for more “13 By Midnight” comps.
