Chatting about Postcard Records and independent music from that era on Soul Source inspired me to put this one together, so after all of 20 minutes research, here's some more great sounds from that post-punk era of 1978 to 1983. I think I had all but four of these on singles when they came out (a couple were 12"Â only and I think two are LP tracks). Great new records in the shops, week after week, they were the good old days.
