When London’s legendary Roxy club opened in January 77, it was to fill a void. Punk rock had not yet been packaged and commercialised to the kiddies and to be a punk still meant living on the edges of society - menacing undesirables even in the hedonistic and boundary-shattering world of rock and roll. The papers were filled with mostly sensationalized stories of violence and drugs and soon no club in London would book any punk act. That’s where the Roxy stepped in - the UK first venue created exclusively for punk rock it soon became the punk rockers’ holy temple. These recordings are from the club’s shortlived heyday from January to April 77 - the golden age of punk rock. Despite all the negative publicity surrounding the scene, when The Roxy London WC2 was released it broke into the Top 20 on the British national chart and stayed there for 5 weeks. Liner notes.
