1. THE NEGATIVZ - 'Mental
Case' - Demo - UK - 1983
This lot were originally The Negatives who released one single before modifying the name. It takes a minute or so to get going but once it does it's full-on punk rock. Released on a CD if you can find it. More here.

2. JOY DIVISION - 'At A
Later Date' - Virgin 10" - UK - 1978
From the 'Short Circuit - Live at the Electric Circus' comp. More of a Warsaw song than Joy Division but they'd changed their name by the time this came out.

3. THE LIZARDS -
'Herätkää! Vartiotorni Kaatuu!' - Poko LP - Finland - 1981

Of The Rats' - DJM 7" - UK - 1978
3rd and final single before getting a better-looking singer and morphing into the Photos.

5. THE WEIRDOS - 'Destroy
All Music' -Bomp! 7" - USA - 1977
Their debut single, the title of which sorta contradicts the very idea of being in a band, but you get the idea. Live here.

6. KORO - '700 Club' - Self-released 7" - USA - 1983
This one has a steady start before hitting the gas and becoming hyper-thrash for the whole 8 tracks. Their sole vinyl, though there was a expanded CD release in 2006.

10. JOHN COOPER CLARKE – '(You
Never See A Nipple In The) Daily Express' - Virgin 10" - UK - 1978
Another from 'Short Circuit - Live at the Electric Circus'. He was always better without the distraction of music.

12. SEEMS TWICE -
'Anglican War' - Doublethink 7" - Australia - 1980
'Non-Plussed' was a strange little E.P. It sounded half-arsed and made-up-on-the-spot for most of the 12 tracks but this final song was almost tuneful.

'Domestic Departure' - 021 7" - UK - 1979
The most off-kilter track from their debut 7" but full of post-punk spikiness.

20. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY
- 'Let's Get Married / You're So Beautiful' - Peel Session - UK - 1978
Not the best quality sound-wise but, hey, it's unreleased Punnilux! Anyone got a better copy?
