Various Artists - No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion (Disc 2) (2003)

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX SET WEEK (MARCH 8 - 14, 2020)*
*In which I've lost/misplaced/can't find/never had one or more CDs in a multi-disc set.

Disc 2 of a 4 disc box set which, according to unconfirmed online sources*, got its "No Thanks!" title as a response from John Lydon when asked if the set could include Sex Pistols tunes.

"Like all the great rock revolutions, punk was fueled by singles."

Another stellar compilation from Rhino. Lots of good stuff including some artists with which I was previously unfamiliar. I certainly wasn't listening to punk singles in the late '70s - I would guess I began my punk education around 1982 or so. I can just imagine 11 year old Mark bringing home an album like L.A.M.F. in 1977 and one of my parents asking, "What's that abbreviation mean?"

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: At some point in 2018, I was killing time one work day (shhhh, don't tell The Man) by perusing the bins at one of the local used CD joints. The red oval Rhino logo caught my eye:

Without doing any investigating, I immediately purchased the thing because of said logo and the words "'70s Punk." It wasn't until I returned home and snooped a bit online that I discovered the disc was part of a box set. No matter, it's still an excellent compilation. Still, I wish I had the liner note booklet.

I'm also reminded that I need to pick up a copy of Marquee Moon.

*is "unconfirmed online" redundant?
