Ok this is supopsed to e essential...and it is. This is a compilation of a very famous but still somewhat obscure french punk group. The first group on Rough Trade etc...The tracks have not aged that well mainly because of sonic limitations but the energy is still there and it has an originality that was often lacking from punk groups back then. For a very long time it was very very difficult to find anything by them so this compilation is more than wellcome.
