Potential Threat - Whats So Great Britain (singles, live, and demos) LP

Collection of singles and demos from this mega crucial UK hardcore outfit.  With their 1982 debut EP, it would be easy to peg the group as a standard issue Riot City/No Future style punk outfit, and truthfully, "Vice Squad meets Discharge" isn't too far off base.  However, whereas so many UK groups of that era folded after a single or two, Potential Threat continued into the mid-80's--UK hardcore's nascent "crust" era--and were able to keep up with the ferocity of emerging group's such as Sacrilege, Concrete Sox, Heresy and the like.  Few groups were able to bridge generations of punk like that while maintaining a sonic ferocity and politically militant stance, and if only for that 80's punk devotees might give them respect. Thankfully, in addition to great principles, the group also left behind an array of top notch recordings, as evidenced by this collection, presented lovingly for the first time on vinyl.
