Fourteen songs, under half an hour, year zero for punk: buzzsaw guitars, bubblegum hooks and no solos. Simple, joyful and revolutionary. The blueprint everyone copied. The debut or early record that set the template.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
