Import . Catalog Number: CPOI2961100.1 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 5013929611009 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.
