Hailing from Stevenage, in Hertfordshire, Chron Gen (Glynn Barber – vocals / guitar, Jon Thurlow – guitar, Pete Dimmock – bass and Jon Johnson drums) burst onto the Punk scene in the summer of 1981 when their self financed "Puppets Of War” EP hit No.4 in the then important Independent Chart. This led to them joining The Exploited on the seminal "Apocalypse Punk” tour that rampaged round the UK and led to further Indie Chart hits courtesy of "Reality” (No.2) and "Jet Boy Jet Girl” (No.4).Their debut album "Chronic Generation” also hit the No.2 spot and even got to No.53 in the National Charts which was no mean feat in those media led Punk boycott times. The band also played the UK with the Anti Nowhere League on the legendary "So What” tour and scored further Indie Chart success with the "Nowhere To Run” mini LP and "Apocalypse Live Tour” in concert release.And let’s not forget the single "Outlaw”, a confirmed Punk Rock classic as far as The Captain is concerned. This 26 track release includes all of Chron Gen’s National Chart LP “Chronic Generation” plus the Indie Chart hits “Puppets Of War” (No.4), “Reality” (No.2) and “Jet Boy Jet Girl” (No.4). Chuck in the “Outlaw” 45 and the “Nowhere To Run” mini LP and you get the ultimate collection of this vastly under-rated band.

Hi Nagiants40,
Thanks for everything you've been publishing on your blog.
It's one of my favourite ones.
Great that everything you upload is in lossless.
Good job :)

Unfortunately 22. Pretend.flac, 23. Fiasco.flac, 24. Picture paint minds.flac and the beginning of 25. Abortions.flac are broken. It sounds like a result of CD surface contamination.
Adam, thanks for advise me about the problems with those tracks. Unfortunately I bought this CD on Second Spin.com and there's a lot of scratches on the CD surface. I try rip the album again, but not works. If anyone can help us with these ttracks will be amazing.. Thanks.
