The Dogs Bollocks5
"The Roxy London WC2" kick started the UK Punk movement back in 1977. Listening to the raw energy of this album, you can understand why an era of kids ripped up there clothes and declared Anarchy in the UK.
The center piece of this box set is a re-release of the original album, featuring classic punk anthem's from Slaughter and the Dogs, Freedom, Wire, The Adverts, Johnny Moped, Eater, X-Ray Spex, and the Buzzcocks.
Included in the box are the follow up "Farewell To The Roxy" album, a great listen from a bunch of also rans and 4 other great CD's from the featured bands. A must have for both hardcore punks and nostalgic, middle aged cretins alike.
