Reissue on vinyl for the third album by the punk band The Exploited, released in 1983 through Pax Records. The title refers to Margaret Thatcher's decision to go to war over the Falkland Islands in 1982, suggesting that she did so almost on a whim. Let's Start A War reached the Indie Chart Top 10 when first issued in 1983, this album also includes the single "Rival Leaders" which hit No. 11 in the Indie Chart. A classic of the "UK82" hardcore punk sound that provides a blueprint for the decade of punk and metal to come, and all in the space of just over half an hour. Exclusive photo by Alison Braun. Includes folded poster.

Radiation Records present a reissue of The Exploited's Punks Not Dead, originally released in 1981. Born of working class roots in Edinburgh, Scotland, The Exploited emerged from the punk underground in 1981 with the release of their debut LP, Punks Not Dead. A direct reaction to Crass' Punk Is Dead, The Exploited brought to the early '80s all the fire, speed, and attitude of 1977's first wave, with a street/Oi! swagger that was fresh. Peaking at #20 on the UK charts, Punks Not Dead was the best-selling independent record of 1981. Another essential piece of the UK Oi! scene of the early 1980s.

Red vinyl. Radiation Records present a reissue of The Exploited's Troops Of Tomorrow, originally released in 1982. In the early '80s, British punk took a turn toward hardcore and the Exploited (along with G.B.H, Disorder, etc.) led the charge. The beat was fast and furious, the politics ferocious, and the magenta mohawk became state of the art. This album is blessed with great production, something many hardcore albums lack, meaning the froth and fury don't come across as a total muddle. Moreover, the machine gun beat comes with hooks that leave you humming along with the tunes. It's raw, loud, and a downright classic. This is a crucial album in the evolution of The Exploited.
