(2-LP set) With perfect timing this album soundtracks Britain on the brink of chaos. It includes lost masterpieces (Phil Cordell's 'Londonderry'), gritty singles by the new names of the early 70s (Mungo Jerry's 'Open Up', David Essex's 'Stardust') and forgotten gems by some of the biggest names of the previous decade, now struggling to make themselves heard (the Kinks' 'When Work Is Over', the Troggs' 'I'm On Fire').
