About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. A punk classic, gloriously anthemic power pop from the cult UK outfit. On 17 March 1978, a mere six months after the of their self-titled debut, The Boys second album InchAlternative ChartbustersInch was released (once again, produced by Dangerfield & Steel). As AllMusic recognises, InchAlternative ChartbustersInch was way ahead of it's time, a buried treasure that only got dusted off much later InchCondemned at the time for offering up little more than a straight carbon copy of it's predecessor, the second Boys' album has since ascended to the pantheon of power pop greats, a combination of the band's own inestimable position at the forefront of what, by early 1978, was already a burgeoning movement, and their seemingly effortless grasp of the rudiments of, indeed, a great pop song.Inch Along with the S*x Pistols, Clash and the Damned, The Boys were part of the first wave of the mid-1970's UK punk explosion. Armed with an arsenal of killer Steel/Dangerfield songs The Boys became the first UK punk band to sign an album deal in January 1977 and subsequently released two albums, their self-titled debut and the follow-up InchAlternative ChartbustersInch in quick succession. Highly regarded by the music press and their contemporaries, yet somehow criminally ignored by a wider punk audience, unable to grasp their heritage of vintage rock 'n' roll that went back to Chuck Berry courtesy of The Beatles. Their well-crafted songs, together with Steel and Dangerfield's layered harmonies, even led to them being described as 'The Beatles of Punk'. Album Tracks 1. Brickfield Nights 2. Usi 3.

Vinyl LP pressing. Arguably one of the best punk albums of the 70s, The Boys self-titled debut (produced by Dangerfield & Steel) is a cult UK classic. The album is filled with the pop punk gems, the kind of immediate salvos that would elevate Buzzcocks into the charts. In the intervening years, the history of punk rock has been written and re-written and a whole heap of bands have been sidelined. The Boys' debut album, re-mastered here still sounds as fresh and immediate as it did back then and it also includes two classic punk rock singles in 'I Don't Care' and 'First Time' (the latter, along with The Undertones InchTeenage KicksInch, the ultimate punk anthem of teenage romance and adolescent angst). Along with the S*x Pistols, Clash and the Damned, The Boys were part of the first wave of the mid-1970's UK punk explosion. Armed with an arsenal of killer Steel/Dangerfield songs The Boys became the first UK punk band to sign an album deal in January 1977 and subsequently released two albums, their self-titled debut and the follow-up InchAlternative ChartbustersInch in quick succession.
