Any fans around these parts? I imagine we all had a copy of Fuck Off in our collections back in the day The thread was prompted by Cherry Red announcing....
This 57 track 4 CD box set covers just about everything released by seminal American Punk icon Wayne County and his Electric Chairs between 1977-79.
Gotta to say I had no idea Wayne was so prolific
It seems remarkable to me that there's a market for this back catalogue, or am I doing Wayne/Jayne a disservice?
This 57 track 4 CD box set covers just about everything released by seminal American Punk icon Wayne County and his Electric Chairs between 1977-79.
The self-titled debut LP is Disc One and contains the single ‘Eddie & Sheena’. Now comes with ten bonus tracks including the Punk anthem ‘Fuck Off’ as well as three rare monitor mixes from the original album sessions.
Disc Two features the “Storm The Gates Of Heaven” album which contains the ‘Trying To Get On The Radio’ single and now comes with two non LP bonus tracks.
The third disc is 1979’s “Things Your Mother Never Told You” album which contains the ‘Berlin’ single. Three non-LP tracks plus a previously unissued four track John Peel session have been added as bonus tracks.
The final disc is a rare “In Concert” album, recorded on New Year’s Eve 1979, which reached No.18 in the Independent Chart when originally released by Safari Records in early 1980, by which time Wayne had become Jayne County.
The booklet contains in-depth liner notes by Record Collector’s Freek Kinkelaar and features pictures of all relevant record sleeves and lots of clippings from the era.

During my first visit to London as a 'new waver' I saw Don Letts' punk rock movie at the ICA. Wayne County was sat in the row behind me and (s)he got really excited when his clip came on, whooping and hollering. |

Saw Jayne about 20 years ago play the a pub over the road from the Oval cricket ground. She was still putting on a great rock 'n' roll performance and terrifying any young men who went to the toilet which was by the stage by chasing them in. Was wearing a bin bag with chocolate wrappers all over it. Seemed a great person.
