Rare NL made iconic and genre defining issue of the 1st LP/Album of The Saints. Including the birth of Punk track (also issued as a single): (“I’m) Stranded”. About this Album: English newspaper The Guardian wrote: “ Being first can be an overrated virtue but, in The Saints’ case, it needs to be stated over and over again. (I’m) Stranded, which appeared on the band’s own Fatal label in September 1976 (the same month the 100 Club in London held a festival featuring a colourful assortment of new bands including the Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Damned) was the first independently produced rock single in Australia. The full album was later described by England’s Dreaming author Jon Savage as “up there in punk Valhalla with Ramones and Raw Power”.
