Album Notes & Community Reviews

Chronologically tracks the blazing trajectory of 'The Only Band That Matters', summarizing their singles from 1977's 'White Riot' through the early 1980s. The release perfectly documents their evolution from standard, furious three-chord punk into a profoundly eclectic, politically charged global rock outfit. It remains the most concise, consistently thrilling overview of their immensely influential catalog.
