ANGELIC UPSTARTS - ENGLAND'S ALIVE- ORIGINAL  SKUNX RECORDS 12" VINYL EP.

Fantastic four track live EP from original Punk Legends the Angelic Upstarts, Inspired initially by The Clash, regular face around town Mensi just like Strummer felt he also had plenty to say, and formed the upstarts in South Shields, Tyneside in 1977.

By the following year they had self-released their debut single, "The Murder of Liddle Towers/Police Oppression and from then on they were simply unstoppable, Mensi was a man of the people and used his voice and influence to enlighten everyone who would listen, politics were high on the upstarts agenda and were often featured within Mensi's typically working class lyrics.

The band were never far from controversy or outrage but still managed to produce some of the greatest ever punk records, I was lucky enough to witness the great man himself looming large over many upstarts gigs I attended and Mensi always delivered a powerful performance on stage, I for one will miss his mighty presence - Mensi R.I.P.

Vinyl is in great condition for age with a couple of superficial surface marks / hairlines, the sleeve is also great overall just the usual light surface / storage wear that you would expect with a record of this age.

Serious collector's who buy from me on a regular basis will know the importance of having this in their punk record collection.

grab it while it's here, this is a glorious upstarts release to own, Lots more to list in the coming months so keep checking my listings.

Low start and no reserve.
