Gary Crowley’s Punk and New Wave
Veteran UK DJ and broadcaster Gary Crowley has curated Gary Crowley’s Punk and New Wave, a triple CD box set that seeks to avoid the usual ‘classic anthems’ and rather opts for a quirkier selection of punk/new wave singles from 1977-1982.
Crowley (and Jim Lahat) bring you 77 tracks of Punk, New Wave, Post Punk, Power Pop and Mod Revival including many of which are available on CD for the first time. Artists include The Vibrators, The Saints, TV 21, Altered Images, The Fall, Fast Cars, The Negatives, John Cooper Clarke, The Collectors, The Skids and many more!
This set is presented as a ‘media pack’ (i.e. similar to the 20th anniversary reissue of Suede’s Coming Up) and comes with a 40-page booklet. This features an introduction and track-by-track notes by Crowley and Lahat, along with ‘punk memories’ from some of the artists themselves, including Richard Jobson (The Skids), Clare Grogan(Altered Images), Duncan Reid (The Boys), Jane Perry Woodgate (The Mo-Dettes) and Spizz.
Gary Crowley’s Punk and New Wave 3CD set will be released on 15 September 2017
