1977

Part of the first wave of British punk. Essential rock with guitar tones for days. 21 songs in 35 minutes just enough to make Bobby Pollard blush. I'm certain Elastica borrowed quite a bit of the riff from Three Girl Rhumba for their hit Connection. Strange has a swagger as groovy as any of Velvet Unground's. Fragile & Mannequin are punk pop nuggets.
