I bought this "No Wave To Go" 1978 US A&M Records limited edition Picture Disc just after seeing The Dickies in concert. It's early in the careers of some big artists including #JoeJackson, #UKSqueeze, #ThePolice #TheDickies, #TheStranglers, #KlarkKent (Stewart Copeland), #TheSecret (Canadian).

All music prior to this was gifted to me or checked out of the library and copied to cassette.
