New Wave is a notable [1] [2] punk/ new wave/ proto-punk compilation album released in 1977 on Vertigo Records. [3] It introduced many US new wave artists to the UK market and helped establish the term "new wave". [4] The album was compiled by Alan Cowderoy for Phonogram Ltd. (London) and most of the artists were on Phonogram subsidiary labels, making it essentially a sampler album. The album credits give thanks to Linda and Seymour Stein from Sire Records and Jake Riviera and Kosmo Vinyl from Stiff Records. [5] Music critic Ira Robbins rated it one of his top ten albums of 1977. [6]
While most of the acts on the album were US acts, it also included acts from the UK ( the Damned), Ireland ( the Boomtown Rats), France ( Little Bob Story) and Australia ( Skyhooks).
The front cover depicts a punk spitting beer. [7] The punk in the photo is Derek Gibbs, vocalist for the London-based punk band the Satellites. Also seen in the background of the photo is the Satellites' bass player, John Johnson. [4] [8] [9] The rear cover has 11 photos of punks posing in colourful clothing. All the photos were taken by Peter 'Kodick' Gravelle [9] who was one of the first punk photographers, shooting record sleeve photos for the Damned, Generation X, Skrewdriver, Chelsea and others. [10]
