Formed in 1979 in the northern English town of Fleetwood, Lancashire (a former major fishing port that had declined since the 1960s),
One Way System
was one of the most highly-rated "street punk" groups that spun off from the British hardcore and Oi scenes. Mowhawk-sporting lead singer
Gavin Whyte
was initially joined by guitarist
Craig Halliday
, bassist
Gaz Buckley
, and rapid-fire drummer
Tez McDonald
; the early demos of "Jerusalem", "Spokesmen For Teenagers", and "1980s" included here were cut with that lineup, before former
Zyklon B
member
David "Crabby" Ross
joined as second guitarist, yielding the incendiary single "Stab The Judge" and the
No Entry
EP, issued by Blackpool's Lightbeat Records in 1981. Halliday later quit the group and when McDonald joined
The Fits
, accomplished drummer
Tommy Couch
brought a totally different musical dimension, his command of the kit well beyond the abilities of most of his contemporaries. In addition to the demos and the Lightbeat material, this compilation also collects the singles and EPs issued by Cherry Red's Anagram subsidiary between 1982-84, including the inaugural 45, "Give Us A Future". Include 60x40cm poster.
