Description
One of the rarest New Wave compilations ever to come out - as well as one of the rarest Cure items out there (description of the rarity of On the Wave is available at the Cure's Official Discography site: http://www.plainsong.net/gallery/Galerie14.html). This is a 12 song, 12" lp with a ton of great punk, powerpop, and new wave singles. The cover is in excellent condition (the cover was produced in a lamenated plastic - there are two lines or creases that were formed at the factory), the vinyl is near mint.
This is a Spanish comp that came out in 1980. Only a handful of the 12" records were pressed - Polydor simultaneously released the compilation in a 7" box set format. These are the tracks that are on the LP (as well as all the singles that were released through the comp as 7"s):
1. Heroes - some kind of women
2. 999 - trouble
3. The Cure - boys don't cry
4. The Chords - maybe tomorrow
5. The Akrylykz - smart boy
6. Siouxie and the banshees - happy house
7. The invaders - best thing I ever did
8. The tunes - she's my girl
9. New adventures - come on
10. Magnum bonum - lover boy
11. purple hearts - jimmy
12. protex - i can't cope
This week I'm selling a good chunk of my record collection. Please check out my other listings for rare and obscure PUNK, NEW WAVE, NO WAVE, POST-PUNK, GARAGE, INDIE, ELECTRO, EARLY RAP, and GLAM records. All listings start with VERY LOW OPENING BIDS. I've tried to add comments about some of the more obscure bands - it might be worth looking through just to get an idea of some of the better bands that that haven't got the attention that they deserved over the last two or three decades. Thanks!
