Nefarious Artists: The Evolution and Art of the Punk Rock, Post-Punk, New Wave, Hardcore Punk and Alternative Rock Compilation Record 1976 - 1989 by Welly Artcore.

Long before online streaming and even TV music videos, that were beyond the reach of many new bands outside of a lucky spin on the radio, the compilation became the most effective way to access, and be accessed by, the eager new ears and inquisitive minds of the then new punk generation. 'Nefarious Artists' is a field study of over 500 punk rock, post- punk, new wave, hardcore punk, and alternative rock compilations from their beginnings in 1976 as major label samplers and live showcases of the 'new wave' through their rapid evolution into a documentary art form of D.I.Y. punk rock creativity and expression.

424 pages packed with full colour alternative rock and punk compilation covers, and the stories behind these important releases.
