Die ersten beide Alben von THE SAINTS sind nicht nur großartig, sondern auch enorm wichtig, genau wie RADIO BIRDMAN. Aber abgesehen von diesen beiden großen Namen gab es in Australien in der Zeit von 1975 - 1979 auch viele andere geile Bands. Dafür könnte man einen eigenen Thread aufmachen.
Die zweite Compilation, die ich dir ans Herz legen möchte, hört auf den Namen 'Action Time Vision (A Story Of Independent UK Punk 1976 - 1979)' und wurde 2016 von Cherry Red Records veröffentlicht. Insgesamt gibt es 111 Bands mit 111 Songs, 4 CDs, ein 64seitiges Booklet und das ganze in Buchform. Hier mal die großartige Tracklist:
