Straps, The - Same LP

Long awaited reissue for an obscure anarcho punk classic! Formed in London in 1977, the Straps released two singles on their Donut label before releasing this 12-track punk rock smasher in 1982, and this is the first reissue since then (let alone a CD compilation on Captain OI! from a few years back, which included a big portion on this LP). Over the years, the Straps shared members with Sex Gang Children, Crisis, UK Subs, Theatre Of Hate, The Damned, P.I.L. and The Wall, and despite the frequent line-up changes they made it to this day alive and kickin'. Nonetheless, this is by far the peak of their career and one the most criminally underrated classic of the UK-82 era. Reissued in a limited edition of 500 copies
