Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation LP

RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS - (UK) "Blank Generation" (Black vinyl; does not include an insert.)  In 1977, the band released this, their debut full-length on Sire Records.  The title was named after a novel that Richard Hell had been working on at the time. While the album was not a major commercial hit, it was a revelation among rock critics and received widespread praise. The combination of Hell's arty, philosophical lyrics, alongside Quine's virtuostic guitar work, laid out a solid blueprint of the Punk Rock movement and dubbed the Voidoids as one of the definitive bands of the New York music scene of the time. Blank Generation's nihilistic message was a key inspiration for UK Punk anthems like Sex Pistols' "Anarchy In The UK", The Clash's "London's Burning", and others.  The band would then go on to influence groups like Sonic Youth and Minutemen.
