D.Y.I. RHINO

VA - D.I.Y.  1 - 9  [1993] (9 x CD's)

Released in 1993, Rhino Records D.I.Y. Series is a nine-disc set that covered the British and American power-pop scene of the mid 1970’s to the early 1980’s. Rhino records is a godsend to fans looking to learn more about a musical genre. Every genre they tackle is chronicled lovingly and contains a great mix of obscure gems and popular classics. The complete collection consists of:

• DIY 1: Anarchy in the UK – UK Punk I (1976-77)
• DIY 2: The Modern World – UK Punk II (1977-78)
• DIY 3: Teenage Kicks – UK Pop I (1976-79)
• DIY 4: Starry Eyes – UK Pop II (1978-79)
• DIY 5: Blank Generation – The New York Scene (1975-78)
• DIY 6: We’re Desperate – The L.A. Scene (1976-79)
• DIY 7: Come Out and Play – American Power Pop I (1975-78)
• DIY 8: Shake It Up! – American Power Pop II (1978-80)
• DIY 9: Mass. Ave. – The Boston Scene (1975-83)

This series provides an exceptional summary of what was happening musically between 1975-1983 in pop music. Conspicuous by their absence are groups like Talking Heads, The Clash, and Elvis Costello & The Attractions, but this was chiefly due to contractual issues that fell upon Rhino. Few of the groups featured in Rhino’s D.I.Y series ever achieved mainstream acceptance or success, but all helped to facilitate the shape of today’s music. As a historical document, the D.I.Y series provides a snapshot of the chaotic but stimulating beginnings of punk and new wave. Throughout the nine-disc series, power-pop and punk diamond in the roughs is featured by undervalued artists such as The Nerves, Pezband, The Undertones, Chris Stamey & The db’s, The Beat, and The Motels. Although most of the artists featured in the D.I.Y have fallen into dusty album crates of obscurity, the D.I.Y series also features popular artists such as The Jam, Blondie, XTC, Nick Lowe, The Germs, The Romantics, Stiff Little Fingers, and The Buzzcocks.

These are an ideal introduction to a sound that totally realigned rock with its emphasis on brittle guitars, amphetamine rhythms, and socially charged songwriting. Today, the Rhino D.I.Y series is out of print, virtually absent from record stores.
