ANGELIC UPSTARTS - ANGEL DUST - The Collected Highs - ORIGINAL ANAGRAM RECORDS PRESSING.
Fantastic Singles album from original Punk Legends the Angelic Upstarts, Inspired initially by The Clash, regular face around town Mensi just like Strummer felt he also had plenty to say, and formed the upstarts in South Shields, Tyneside in 1977.
By the following year they had self-released their debut single, "The Murder of Liddle Towers / Police Oppression and from then on they were simply unstoppable, Mensi was a man of the people and used his voice and influence to enlighten everyone who would listen, politics were high on the upstarts agenda and were often featured within Mensi's topical socially biting lyrics.
The band were never far from controversy or outrage but still managed to produce some of the greatest ever punk records, I was lucky enough to witness the great man himself looming large over many upstarts gigs I attended over the years and Mensi always delivered a powerful performance on stage, I for one will miss his mighty presence - Mensi R.I.P.
Serious collector's who buy from me on a regular basis will know the importance of having this fantastic album in their punk record collection, no filler on this album, simply put it's one of the best ever singles collections in punk history - ESSENTIAL.
grab it while it's here, this has been deleted for years now, fantastic anagram pressing in original embossed sleeve with minor edge storage wear, the vinyl looks in excellent condition for its age.
Low start considering its rarity value and no reserve.
