Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dramatically expanding upon their original 1980 10-inch release, this CD-era compilation unearths a vast trove of rare B-sides and extended dub remixes. The extensive collection perfectly documents the London punk pioneers' rapid, fearless absorption of Jamaican sound-system culture, early hip-hop, and funk. It stands as a vital companion piece to their core albums, showcasing a band relentlessly pushing the stylistic boundaries of their genre.
