Punk Collection (1977 & 1978)

Here's a selection of some early punk songs, well I'm pretty sure all these were released in either 1977 or 1978 so that's pretty early. I've deliberately avoided putting on any tracks by the bigger bands, such as the Sex Pistols or The Clash because you've already heard them so this concentrates on the lesser known acts from that era. Great bands like Swell Maps with their trashy style, X-Ray Spex with Poly Styrene screeching lyrics about consumerism and media control 20 years before it became fashionable and then there's the 'working class, council estate street' punk from the likes of Slaughter & The Dogs & Menace. Hope you enjoy it :)

Most of the tracks are in 320kbps mp3 format but there are some that are 256 or 192kbps. I've split the download into two parts, tracks 1 to 20 in part 1 and the rest in part 2. Each part is around 100MB in size.
