***Fourteen rare and previously unreleased punk and post punk tracks from the more obscure original Manchester bands of the time. The majority supported established acts such as the Buzzcocks and Joy Division and some went on to form legendary bands in later eras (MIKE JOYCE, THE HOAX). In the spirit of the DIY ethos of the punk era, most were recorded in small studios and released in limited pressings and have become a must have for the discerning punk collector. Features tracks from V2, THE REPORTERS, ELTI-FITS, PURE PRODUCT, THE PANIK, THE ENIGMA, STEROID KIDDIES, THE HOAX, THE CRITICS, THE CHANGE, ARMED FORCE, THE STILL, FAST CARS, and THE THINGS.
