Action time vision : a story of independent UK punk 1976-1979

"This four CD box set is pretty overbearing if you're only a passive punk fan, plus the punk ideology of only needing to learn three chords to play means that it's pretty one dimensional music. However, Cherry Red have the art of compilations down to a tee. Following on from the excellent expansion of C86, the shoegaze compilation Still In A Dream or their investigation into pre 1984 electronica, Close To The Noise Floor, this collection is equally as essential, even if you can only listen to a little at a time".

"Action Time Vision: A Story Of UK Independent Punk 1976-1979 does what it says on the tin. Compiling a whopping 111 songs from the familiar to the minutely obscure across four separate discs alongside a 64 page booklet in a handsomely ornate box set ... Of course it wasn't all plain sailing but as journalist Kris Needs documents in the extensive sleeve notes, Action Time Vision... covers a seminal time when anything seemed possible and a special kind of never to be repeated excitement hung in the air. For those reasons alone this box set is worth anyone's time and money".
