British Post-Punk - Essential Records (1978-1982)

Post-punk wasn't really a genre so much as a shared instinct: punk had knocked down the old rules, and for about four years, a wide range of British bands scrambled to figure out what to build instead. This print maps that period through 72 essential releases, organised by label ecosystem and chronology rather than as a flat list, so the actual relationships between bands, labels and cities are visible: who recorded for whom, which scenes fed into which others, and how quickly the sound moved from Joy Division's austerity to the more danceable, dubinfluenced strains that followed.

Rather than treating post-punk as one sound, the print traces how genuinely different it was from label to label and city to city, before new wave and the pop charts absorbed much of what it started.
