(4 / 5)
Following on from their recent “No Future Complete Singles Collection”, Captain Oi! now releases the superb “Riot City Complete Singles Collection”.
A very pleasing four-CD collection of every single issued by the early 80’s Punk label.
There’s a cracking 118 tracks here across the four discs, including the tracks that made the then important Independent Chart.
Vice Squad drummer and co-label founder Shane Baldwin provides in-depth liner notes on the story of the label that did so much to establish the “UK/82” punk sound.
Each release has its original sleeve illustrated, and now comes with line-up and chart position information. Many of these releases are now highly sought after on the punk collector’s market.
The rare “Riotous Assembly” compilation that Riot City issued in 1982, which contained 15 tracks unique to the release at the time, is added here on disc four as a very nice bonus.
