(WOW! TOP QUALITY RELEASE FROM ONE OF BRISTOL'S FINEST PUNK BAND...14 STUNNING TRACKS, 3 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED IN ANY FORMAT.. THIS ALBUM CONTAINS ALL FOUR TRACKS FROM THOSE TWO GREAT 'STEP FORWARD' SINGLES, PLUS TEN RARE EARLY DEMO TRACKS, ALL NEWLY RE-MASTERED. PUNK ROCK HEAVEN. ONLY 500 COPIES PRESSED ON VINYL!!!

Bristol's first punk band, The Cortinas, formed in March 1976 when Jeremy Valentine (vocals), Nick Sheppard (guitar), Mike Fewins (guitar), Dexter Dalwood (bass) and Daniel Swan were still at school.

The Cortinas soon built up a big local following, and a break came when the band supported The Stranglers at the fabled Roxy Club in Covent Garden on 22 January 1977.

Things then moved quickly for the band. Miles Copeland and Mark Perry's Step Forward label released the classic singles 'Fascist Dictator' in June and 'Defiant Pose' in December, the band recorded a fine Peel session, and they appeared on the front cover of the April/May issue of Sniffin' Glue. Heady stuff, but sadly, it was over all too soon.

The following year, after a poorly received album, the band were no more, but in 1977 they were unstoppable - simply one of the best first wave punk bands around.

This album contains all four tracks from those two great singles, plus ten rare early demo tracks, all newly remastered.
