Description

STIFF RECORDS – SINGLES BOX, VOL 1 (BUY1-10), issued in 1978.

 

Stiff Records was a maverick among British independent record labels, partially responsible for starting the punk and new wave revolution of the late '70s. Under the guidance of house producer Nick Lowe, Stiff turned out an enormous number of seminal punk and new wave singles in their first years, including first outings for artists as diverse as The Damned, Elvis Costello and Motorhead.

 

This box set features the first ten singles issued on the Stiff label (BUY1-10), each in its original sleeve, all housed in a black card box with a white Stiff Records logo on the lid and complete with a single-size insert with full track details and a description of each single. The ten singles are:-

 

BUY 1     Nick Lowe                So It Goes / Heart Of The City

BUY 2     Pink Fairies              Between The Lines / Spoiling For A Fight

BUY 3     Roogalator                Cincinnati Fatback / All Aboard

BUY 4     Tyla Gang                 Styrofoam / Texas Chainsaw Massacre

BUY 5     Lew Lewis                Boogie On The Street / Caravan Man

BUY 6     The Damned            New Rose / Help

BUY 7     Richard Hell             Blank Generation EP (Another World / Blank Generation / You Gotta Lose)

BUY 8     Plummet Airlines    Silver Shirt / This Is The World

BUY 9     Motorhead               Leavin’ Here / White Line Fever

BUY 10   The Damned            Neat Neat Neat / Stab Yor Back / Singalongascabies

 

The box itself is in excellent condition, all the seams are intact, with only some minor creasing to the top and bottom. All of the single sleeves are in mint condition and the vinyl is all mint, and unplayed. The insert is in mint condition.

 

The box is compulsively listenable and provides a retrospective of the genesis of arguably the most important and influential British record label of the late 70's. A rare box set that will grace any 70's vinyl collection.
