Soul Jazz Records' acclaimed Punk 45 archaeology series turns its lens on the UK for this 10th anniversary edition of There's No Such Thing As Society, subtitled Get A Job, Get A Car, Get A Bed, Get Drunk! Underground Punk in the UK 1977-81. Remastered and repackaged, this 2024 reissue expands the original with five previously unheard tracks from 23 Skidoo, Notsensibles, Pretty Boy Floyd and the Gems, The Astronauts and The Impossible Dreamers, pressed as a double LP on striking cyan blue vinyl.

Where the era's headlines belonged to The Clash and The Sex Pistols, this collection digs into the margins — 25 rare and essential singles from bands who defined UK punk and post-punk's DIY spirit without ever troubling the charts. Sleeve notes include band biographies, exclusive photos and original artwork, charting the rise of independent music through the Thatcher years.

For fans of: The Clash, Sex Pistols, Wire, Buzzcocks and Wire-adjacent post-punk obscurities.
