Brilliant. Wish I wrote it. Might have to lift it. ;-P<br /><br />I was a 15 yr old music geek in '77, already deeply enthralled and drowning my passion to track down UK punk singles throughout the year so I picked up "Pink Flag" when it came out(and the next two subsequent albums), over come with anticipation when it was put on. <br /><br />It - and the other two albums, whose distinct and evolutionary in the forward reaching angst are equal and different pillars of strength as the debut - was/is/will ever more be transformative. <br /><br />I bought the absolutely gorgeous box sets that came out a few years ago to revel in my 4th-time purchase of the trio(I'm up for a fifth!).<br /><br />Hearing these and the other boots mentioned are exactly as you say...the mouth dropped, cork of the head of ever-so-slight change or modification from the hard wired hard drive recollection of these tunes is...EXACTLY the point. <br /><br />My first exposure to Dada-ism and the transcendence of shards of simplicity in music(well, there is the Ramones first two albums in this year and, oh yeah, "Damned, Damned, Damned" but that was December, 1976 if I recall correctly).<br /><br />I will forever be thankful to this gang of four.
