40 Years of Punk & New Wave: The Sounds of 1977 #1 Playlist

Throughout the year I'm going to post a number of Playlists under the banner of The Sounds of 1977. Featured will be Singles (A and B-sides), Peel Sessions, Album tracks and Live versions etc of some of my favourite tunes from the year. The choices are so vast that I have no idea what on earth I will end up leaving out!

To begin with a nice 20 Track playlist of Punk & New Wave that will no doubt transport us back to when we were kids! 

Enjoy
