Collection of all studio output, recorded 1980-1983 from this short lived UK punk outfit. With only two singles released in their timethe insanely scarce Vendetta, and the No Future essential Dead Hero this compilation rounds out the LP with demo sessions and comp tracks. The Samples were something of a bridge between the first wave of UK punk and the hardcore "UK82" era. Think a more snarling, street level version of Stiff Little Fingers. Tuneful, politically uncompromising and bursting at the seams with energy, this collection is mandatory for fans of 80's UK punk.
