Various Artists - Live At The Vortex

The compilation that started it all, originally released in 1977. In October a series of bands have been recorded at the Vortex Club for a proposed live album along the lines of the first Live At the Roxy WC2 record. The record featured the Maniacs, Suspects, Wasps, Neo, Art Attacks, Bernie Tormé, and Mean Street who were all regular players at the Vortex and Roxy. Released in 1977 - right after the punk-rock breakdown - the compilation made way for a revolutionary statement supporting the newborn counterculture.
