Fantastic lp compilation covering mostly the Cardiff (Wales)music scene of the end of the 70s.A great mix of bands playing new waves,post punk,punk 77  and some electronic minimal experiments. It was recorded on location at Grass Roots Coffee Bar, 58 Charles Street, Cardiff. 

Z Block Records was a short living UK label founded in 1978 by Reptile Ranch and Andrew Tucker . Closed in 1980 .

A great document from the last century,and I left these tunes as waves.Enjoy it.

STIFF LITTLE FINGERS-Live At The Stockholm Music Palais Xmas 1979-(Not On Label-1979)

Stiff Little Fingers are a punk rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They formed in 1977, at the height of the Troubles. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song), doing rock covers until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording. In 2014, the band released their tenth studio album and a world tour followed its release. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, but in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years.(from a Wikipedia page about them) click me
