To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, Ace Records are delighted to offer a three-LP limited edition compilation of where it all started — Chiswick Records. Back in November 1975, Ted Carroll finally made his dream of starting an independent label a reality when Chiswick released their first single — The Count Bishops' "Speedball" EP. Flanked by Roger Armstrong and Trevor Churchill, Chiswick were in the right place at the right time, soon releasing singles that dropped anchor in pub rock, punk, metal, pop and rockabilly by the likes of the 101'ers, Motörhead, the Gorillas, the Radio Stars, the Radiators, the Stukas and many more. There were also big names before they got bigger — Joe Strummer led the 101'ers, Johnny & the Self Abusers later morphed into Simple Minds, and Riff Raff featured a young Billy Bragg. Compiled by Roger Armstrong, this 3-LP set pulls together some of the finest 45rpm output from Chiswick issued between 1975 and 1982.
