POTENTIAL THREAT What's So Great Britain (Singles, Live and Demos)

Collection of singles and demos from 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.

Includes: 1982 7", Brainwashed 7" EP, 1983 Demo (previously unreleased) and one 1984 live cut. 28 tracks plus 4pp 12" insert
