Sex Pistols, the Damned, Crass

The Damned's first one is good. So varied considering it was the first Punk album. Anything comes a close second.

I would also add Santana.

Hahahaha, yes, but only the incorrectly mastered original release of course (and it's 'Harbor' 'cause he's an American philistine).

I guess Attila has to count for this thread too...

I really like this album...found the CD on the flea market. Has it been remastered yet?

It's complicated. The CD version was done circa 1984 and corrected the speed, but chopped about 5 minutes off 'You Can Make Me Free' and removed most of the instrumentation from the likes of 'Turn Around' and 'Tomorrow is Today'. The original 'chipmunk' pressing is on YouTube, as well as some 'straight' corrected versions:

Original pressing (incorrect speed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AryptLpHDDs

Original pressing (corrected speed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNtilZiKuO8

But the best versions of about half the material can be found on 'Live at Sigma Sound Studios', released as the second disc of the 'Piano Man' remaster from a few years back.
