Our Take

Ah, the Winter of Discontent. A time of strife, of chaos, of... really great music, apparently. Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs have curated a fascinating selection of tracks from this tumultuous period in British history, and the result is nothing short of extraordinary.

From the haunting beauty of The Passions' "I'm in Love with a German Film Star" to the infectious energy of The Flying Lizards' "Money (That's What I Want)", this album is a treasure trove of hidden gems that perfectly capture the spirit of the era. Each track feels like a time capsule, transporting listeners back to a time when Britain was in the grip of social and political upheaval.

The standout track for me has to be The Raincoats' "Fairytale in the Supermarket". It's a riotous blast of punk energy that perfectly encapsulates the DIY ethos of the time. The raw, unpolished production only adds to the track's charm, making it a standout moment on an already stellar compilation.

Overall, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs have done a fantastic job of shining a light on a period of British music history that is often overlooked. Winter of Discontent is a must-listen for anyone with an interest in the music of the late 70s and early 80s, and a welcome addition to any music lover's collection. So, put on your Dr. Martens, grab a cup of tea, and settle in for a trip down memory lane. Cheers, Bob and Pete - you've done it again.
