Flush from the success of "Smokin' in the Boys Room," which climbed all the way to number three on the pop charts, Brownsville Station was eager to keep the party going, deciding the best way to do so was to capitalize on the juvenile delinquent image they captured so perfectly on their big breakthrough. Hence, the title of their quickly released follow-up is School Punks; the illustrated cover pictures the trio all decked out in leather in front of a graffiti-ridden school wall; the opening cut, "Kings of the Party," references the hit; "Meet Me on the Fourth Floor" rewrites it; and "Mama Don't Allow No Parkin'" and "Fast Phyllis" tell similar tales of high-school misadventures.

Never less than rough, ready and raw the UK Subs proved with the 7 top 40 hits included here that smooth edges weren’t needed in the wake of the Punk explosion. The singles CID, Tomorrows Girls and Stranglehold perfectly captured the mood of the times and remain as impressive as they were upon first release. A retrospective covering the most successful period of the bands career during Punk’s high tide in the late 70s. Includes the hits Tomorrows Girls, Stranglehold, She’s Not There and Warhead. Sleevenotes and compilation by Alan Parker.

Since the historiography of punk is a male-dominated one, a "Revenge of the She-Punks" was long overdue. This feminist reckoning was written by none other than post-punk pioneer Vivien Goldman, who has an insider's perspective due to her work as a musician and one of Britian's first female music writers. Along four themes - Identity, Money, Love and Protest - the "punk professor" traces empowering moments that punk holds especially for women. This Compilation is inspired by the book, which was originally released by University of Texas Press in 2019.
