Before I head out for a brief vacation, I thought I'd set you up with the third volume in the Every One a Classic!!! compilation series. I presented the first two installments a little over a month ago and there are six in total. In a nutshell, and invisible force of some sort across the pond had the good sense to compile a bunch of immensely scarce, not to mention expensive UK powerpop and punk singles spanning 1977-81. The emphasis here is a little more on the punk side of the aisle, but I wouldn't expect any hardcore. For the most part, the fifteen bands involved are fully capable of carrying something resembling a tune, and about three songs in we're treated to one of the sharpest and most indelible songs of this era bar-none, The Letter's riveting "Nobody Loves Me" circa 1980. The Really 3rds brandish a dab of Brit Invasion persuasion, I'd swear Anorexia's "Pets" was born in CBGB's, and Joe 9T and The Buzz's "Insanity" is a sassy slammer with energy and hooks to spare. Have at it.

I just wanted to let you know how I much I appreciate you sharing these. I can't wait to check out the last three volumes!
Cheers,for all of us familiar to compilations like this one,nothing specials...already known names and songs on all six volumes,I'm hardly awaiting some unheard/uncomped compilation...and so far,Bored Teenagers serie is miles away from any other series(Bloodstains,Spunkstains,England Belongs To Me...) with some overpriced and overlooked Uk stuff...
Excellent stuff and hope the rest will follow, cool post. THX đ
Just so ya know, since I haven't commented before I think. I have a Power Pop / RnR radio show on KUZU 92.9FM in Denton, TX and have gotten some great stuff from you over the years and have been playing them on the radio. Thanks!
