UK Punk singles I bought, some on their first day of release, through 1976 - 77 - 78 - 79. part 1 - The first wave of bands. I was 16 years old. My sister was training to be a nurse and lived in a flat off Ladbroke Grove in London. When visiting, I was lucky to pick up the early first releases from vinyl shops in the area including the original Rough Trade shop. The list is roughly in the order I bought them in. I saw the Ramones at the roundhouse, the Damned in a scary pub in west London, My landlady who owned the Screen on the green put on one of the first Pistols gigs. I went on to learn some chords, dye my hair purple and joined a band.
