In conjunction with the release of COUNTER CULTURE 2006, this bonus special edition COUNTER CULTURE looks at the shop's first year of business, 1976.Looking back, 1976 was an intake of breath, a moment before the explosion of punk and new wave that continues to reverberate. Alongside some of the great music of the time, in this collection we also have the sonic evidence of the growing opposition to the establishment - the 60's psyche and folk influence is here in the form of The Flamin' Groovies and the McGariggle sisters, but garage rock is evolving into something altogether more spiky with The Saints and Radio Birdman, while the longstanding avant garde and art rock movements, epitomised here by The Penguin Café Orchestra and Ivor Cutler, sit a little uncomfortably next to the carefree disco of Candi Staton and Bootsy's Rubber Funk. £6.99 BUY NOW £14.99 BUY BOTH 06 & 76 - PACKAGED TOGETHER IN A SNAZZY DUAL SLEEVE SEE THE FULL TRACKLISTING HERE |
