Description
A 59 track four CD boxset from original Punk legends The Vibrators.

Disc 1 is the band’s “comeback” album from 1982, now on CD in its original sleeve for the first time and complete with three bonus tracks. Includes the Indie Chart hit single ‘Baby Baby’.

The “Alaska 127” album is featured on Disc 2 and it hit the Indie Chart Top 30 when first released in 1983.

Disc 3 contains the “Fifth Amendment “album, the last to be recorded by the band’s original line up.

The fourth disc is a Rarities collection including nine demos originally intended for their aborted 1979 album as well as nine songs from a short lived version of the band that includes the Indie Chart hit singles ‘Gimme Some Lovin’’ and ‘Disco In Mosco’, a track later covered by German mega punks Die Toten Hosen.

Still active to this day the band are constantly touring. 2017 saw a full North American tour whilst early 2018 saw a lengthy European jaunt.

These looks good. I hope the price drops a little before release date.

The dates in the title indicate this will not include their debut Pure Mania (1977) or the follow-up V2 (1978). There is a previous box compiling the CBS years.
