V/A - Every One a Classic!! Vol. 6

Before I abscond on my jet setting lifestyle for the next few days, I thought I'd leave you with this, the sixth installment in the Every One a Classic!! bootleg series compiling neglected, but monetarily valuable British punk/powerpop singles and such.  Vol. 6 is a bit more unique in that it predominantly angles towards the more aggro side of the side of the neighborhood, with many of it's selections bordering the vicinity of straight-up hardcore/oi. If you could go for some rowdy, Cockney seasoning The Rong, Twisted Nerve, The Jermz, and The Commited are practically shouting your name.  The Limps subscribe to approximately the same aesthetic as the Adverts, The Bleach Boys opt for the same strenuous pace as say, Discharge and Dead Kennedys (albeit with a pinch more melody) and Jimmy Edwards dials things down a notch with "Drag it Back," a number suitable for the football hooligan contingent. Tying this affair up, the best known commodity, Protex coincidentally qualify as the most power-pop friendly specimen in the bunch, and "Don't Ring Me Up" is just about as compelling as anything I've encountered from them.  You can access all previous installments in the ...Classic series via the hyperlink above.
