Active compensatory factors: By now, any regular readers of this blog will have long realised that I have a very wide taste in music (my wife would say 'no taste') but I haven't included many actual punk albums (The Sex Pistols, The Ruts and The Clash are coming). Mainly it was singles for the late seventies punk bands, including Stiff Little Fingers (my earlier post documents the two I own)

First though - Stiff Little Fingers. The first side of Nobody's Heroes is superb - a series of vitriolic, spat out lyrics with riffing guitars, and a terrific series of inventive bass lines, all produced well by Doug Bennett.
Side two aims for some variety and only returns to side one's greatness for the final song - Tin Soldiers.
It's very much of its time in terms of its punk attitude, but the teenage angst and frustration is always relevant.
Where do they all belong? I prefer Nobody's Heroes to their debut Inflammable Material which I bought and sold.
