The Chiswick Story: Adventures Of An Independent Record Label 1975-1982 - CD

Various: The Chiswick Story: Adventures Of An Independent Record Label 1975-1982 DIGI versione su 2CD in digipack edizione. Questa particolare edizione è stata pubblicata in REGNO UNITO nella casa editrice Chiswick Records in data 1. aprile 2013.

Chiswick Records was not only a label for rock'n'roll, punk rock, quirky pop and art rock, but also a springboard for later greats such as Joe Strummer, Kirsty McCall, Billy Bragg (with his band Riff Raff), Simple Minds (who partly performed as Johnny And The Self Abusers) and last but not least Motörhead, who with their brilliant debut album on the label created a cross between hard rock and punk that both labels could agree on. Chiswick remains to this day a bridge between the pub rock of the early 70s and the punk that musically influenced the decade until its end. With 46 tracks on 2CD, the Digipak once again demonstrates the exceptional status of the label founded by Roger Armstrong (Ace Rec.) and Ted Carroll. On board for this rock and punk journey through time are Motörhead, The Damned, Rocky Sharpe & The Replays, Meteors, Count Bishops, Radio Stars, Riff Raff, Textones, The 101ers, Amazorblades, Johnny Moped, Radiators, Bishops and more. Review ,,If you don't already own Chiswick Story, you are definitely obliged to get it here. After all, the British label Chiswick, like Stiff, was involved in the revival of punk, new wave and related rock movements between 1975 and 1983, and quite deliberately took a distinctly undogmatic stylistic route."
