Description
BUZZCOCKS - TOTAL POP - ORIGINAL LIMITED GERMAN IMPORT ALBUM.
After reading an NME review of the Sex Pistols' first performance, Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto riding high on the review travelled to London to see the band at High Wycombe in February 1976.
Both were impressed by what they saw and arranged for the Sex Pistols to come and perform at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, The Buzzcocks intended to play at this concert, but band members dropped out, and Shelley and Devoto were unable to recruit replacements in time for the gig so they never got to perform.
Once they had recruited new bass guitarist Steve Diggle and drummer John Maher they made good their debut opening for the Sex Pistols at their second Manchester concert in July 1976.
The Sex Pistols returned the favour and In September 1976 the Buzzcocks travelled to London to perform at the two-day 100 club punk festival and by the end of the year had recorded and released Spiral Scratch on their own New Hormones label, making them one of the first punk groups to establish an Independent Record Label.
The Buzzcocks went on to become one of the most successful of all the early punk bands and this is a classic hits album with a great track list that captures the energy of the original band perfectly, it features essential Buzzcocks tracks, hits, album tracks and live.
Only ever released in Germany this is a much sort after must have album for any serious Buzzcocks or Punk rock music record collector.
Grab it while you have the chance.
