THE POP RIVETS - Greatest Hits 1979

This album is one more a superb record. The Pop Rivets were Russ Wilkins (bass), Little Russ (drums), Bruce Brand (guitar) and Billy Childish (vox) and came together in England during 1977 along with the punk wave that was then sweeping the music scene. Borrowing money, they recorded an album in 1979, Greatest Hits which make up some of the tracks on this retrospective. Their sound was unpolished, loud and have the speed and aggressiveness of punk in the late seventies. The band recorded an EP and two albums between 1977 and 1980. On this album are only classics, 'Fun In The UK' of course everybody knows, 'Commercial' or 'Hipocrite' are hits I listen three times in a row. Ahh, Fuck, this is great stuff and you're a fool if you're not stop here.
