1. THE LURKERS - 'Be My
Prisoner' - Beggars Banquet LP - UK - 1977
'Streets' was a sampler of lots of obscure 7"s released in '77 , with a few Beggars banquet acts included, of course, and a couple of classic unreleased cuts to boot. This was The Lurkers' finest moment.

2. THE PRIMMERS - 'Police
Wheels' - Ripper 12" - New Zealand - 1983
Meanwhile 'Rip Shit Or Bust' was a mere 6-track 12" sampler - but another goodie.

3. NAKED RAYGUN -
'Vanilla Blue' - Sandpounder 7" - USA - 1987
Only the second 7" released by Naked Raygun, in nice vanilla-blue vinyl too. The quintessential punk rock love song.

4. CINECYDE - 'Radiation
Sickness' - Tremor 7" - USA - 1979
'Positive Action', their 3rd E.P., is a classic, but please tell me why no-one seems to have their second album 'Who Goes There?' Were they mostly incinerated in an unconfirmed warehouse fire, or did a wronged ex-girlfriend steal most of the pressing, or is it so incredibly bad that no-one's ever bothered to share it??? The public needs to know!!! (You do see them for sale on e-bay now and then but I haven't owned a record player since my record collection was stolen by a couple of skinheads with a bagfull of pot and a transit van back in the '90s).

Aggression' - Demo - UK - 1982

Neat' - Subcore 7" - USA - 1986
