Here's a little collection of songs I put together for my own listening pleasure that I though many others would also enjoy. In 1978 an album titled Farewell To The Roxy was released that was recorded at the famous Roxy Club in London which is the place that basically spawned Punk Rock. This album basically featured the second generation of punk bands that were following in the footsteps of the previous ones. However, apart from one band, UK Subs, most of the bands on it never released more than a single or two. Shame, since every track on the album is very good. As it turns out most of the bands had at least made recordings and over the last few years these recordings have been showing up to the joy of those of us who want to hear more. Have a listen to rare tracks from Blitz, Red Lights, Jets, Open Sore and Crabs. The Red Lights, Jets and Open Sore tracks all are taken off of videos that showed up on YouTube. The Crabs songs are from a Peel Session they were lucky enough to record.
