Vice Squad (1982)

Following on from the success of the recent “No Future Complete Singles Collection”, Captain Oi! proudly presents the “Riot City Complete Singles Collection”, a 4 CD capacity wallet round up of every single, single (!) issued by the seminal early 80’s Punk label. 118 tracks are spread across the four discs – of the 33 singles issued by the label 27 made the then important Independent Chart. Vice Squad drummer and co-label founder Shane Baldwin has provided in-depth liner notes on the story of the label that did so much to establish the “UK/82” Punk sound. Each release has its original sleeve illustrated and now comes with line up and chart position information added. Many of these releases are now highly prized items on the Punk collector’s scene. The rare “Riotous Assembly” compilation that Riot City issued in 1982 and which contained 15 tracks unique to the release at the time is added as a bonus.

1 came out in March 1982 and reached No.48 in the UK National Charts as well as spending nigh on eight months in the Independent Chart, peaking at No.3.
