One of the classic Punk compilations this definitive retrospective on the criminally underrated early ’80s Punk scene is the real deal, a record compiled and released in 1982 by indie labels Posh Boy (US) and Cherry Red (UK) to showcase the latest wave of punk rock outfits from both sides of the Atlantic. ‘Punk & Disorderly’ has aged exceptionally well and remains a defining moment in early 80s punk. The wide range of Punk is compellingly charged – midpaced sneers with “Last Rockers”, “Straight Jacket”, “For My Country”; melodic sensibilities as romantic as a middle finger thrust to your face – “No Room for You”, “Mania”; and headbanging moshfests – “Complete Disorder”, “Race Against Time”. This is the quintessence of an age, a time, a look and a sound that inspired a generation.
