Various Artists: Live At The Vortex
Jon Savage, Sounds, 10 December 1977

At least might someone have the good grace and honesty to stick 'Punk (a/k/a 'New/Wave') Sampler' on the sleeve and sling it out in a cheesy cover at £1.99 so we'd know that we're getting mutton? Please. Lamb this is the price of for so little return.
