The Punk Singles Collection

Dickies, “The Punk Singles Collection” (Spectrum, 2000; original recordings 1978-80)
Early punk had a strain (feeding into hardcore) that was faster, lighter and sillier than the NY and U.K. predecessors, and the Dickies were the fastest, lightest and silliest of all. Helium-crazed chipmunks on a sugar jag, they blaze through their performances so fast, almost to the point of jabbering gibberish, that you don’t realize how crazily acute their pop song-sense is.
