A 5-CD (I know, I know...) boxed set compilation of punk/new wave songs. Probably the most comprehensive and definitive punk collection - certainly the most lavishly packaged. The 100 tracks are spread over 5 CDs, each in its own cardboard envelope. The 5 envelopes can be put together to make one big picture. There is a booklet with a general introduction, followed by one page for each of the 100 tracks, containing information on the artist and recommendations of which of their records to buy. The booklet has 4 silver badges on the cover, and they poke through the front of the box to provide the title ("1 2 3 4").

Isn't it bizarre to think of punk music as middle aged? Only middle aged music becomes a boxed set of CD's. Gosh.
Great to hear the Chelsea song. I haven't listened to punk/new age in so long. I believe it was after a Cramps show in 1988 that I finally realized I had tinitus. Ten years of loud music will do that to a person, but it was worth it.
Very cool! Thank you.
