Four LPs spanning 1977 to 1984 — from THE SEX PISTOLS and THE DAMNED on one side of the Atlantic to THE ADOLESCENTS and D.O.A. on the other — that together trace punk's first decad e across both sides of the pond. A working survey of the records that built the genre, from first-wave British provocation through the harder, faster American hardcore that followed. The ADOLESCENTS' self-titled "Blue Album" from 1981 — Frontier Records, Orange County hardcore at its formative peak, "Kids of the Black Hole" and "Amoeba" still defining the West Coast sound four decades later. D.O.A. Bloodied but Unbowed: The Damage to Date 1978–83, the 1984 Alternative Tentacles compilation that anthologized Joey Shithead's Vancouver hardcore output and helped export Canadian punk south of the border. The SEX PISTOLS' Never Mind the Bollocks in the US cover variant — the 1977 Warner Bros. pressing that softened the original UK sleeve for American distribution and became its own collectible in the process. THE DAMNED Best of the Damned, drawing from the catalog of the first British punk band to release a single, the first to tour America, and arguably the longest-running act of the original wave.
