We don't say "remarkable" lightly — this is one of the strongest single collections we've taken in at The Record Centre in years. Assembled with serious intent over decades, it spans the full post-punk universe: goth, industrial, hardcore, new wave, proto-punk, and the wonderfully weird stuff that refuses to be categorized. We've pulled out the ten pieces that stopped us in our tracks, with notes on why each one matters and what makes it worth your attention right now.

1. Joy Division – Warsaw (Unofficial, Includes 7" Single, EX-/EX-) — $150

Before Unknown Pleasures, before Martin Hannett, before the mythology — there was Warsaw, the name Joy Division played under before they became Joy Division. This unofficial release compiles their earliest recordings, and the included 7" single pushes it into genuinely essential territory for any serious collector. The rawness here is the point: you can hear a band finding the gravity that would define post-punk for the next forty years. EX-/EX- condition on an unofficial pressing of this age is legitimately hard to come by.

2. Morrissey – Jack the Ripper 1993 Promo 7" (EX/EX) — $200

Promo-only pressings of Morrissey singles from the early '90s are the kind of thing collectors spend years hunting, and this one is among the most elusive — "Jack the Ripper" was never released as a conventional commercial single in most markets, making the promo copy effectively the only game in town. EX/EX on a fragile promo 7" that's now over thirty years old is a genuine feat of preservation. If you're building a serious Smiths/Morrissey collection, this is the piece that separates the dedicated from the casual.

3. Plasmatics – Butcher Baby (UK 1980 12" Single, Signed, VG+/VG+) — $150

Wendy O. Williams signed this. Let that land for a moment. The Plasmatics' 1980 UK pressing of "Butcher Baby" is already a desirable piece on its own — an aggressive slice of proto-industrial punk that shocked British audiences who thought they'd seen everything — but a signature from WOW herself transforms it into a genuine artifact. VG+/VG+ on a 45-year-old 12" is excellent, especially for a record that was meant to be played loud and often.

4. CCCP – Fedeli Alla Linea – Ortodossia II° (1985 UK, 12" Single, 3-Way Gatefold) — $175

CCCP – Fedeli Alla Linea were Italy's most confrontational post-punk band, and Ortodossia II° is the record where their politics, their noise, and their absurdist theatrics hit the sharpest point. This 1985 UK pressing in a three-way gatefold is an object as much as a record — designed to be held and studied, not just sleeved and shelved. Finding it outside of Italy is already an event; finding it in this format is genuinely uncommon.

5. Skinny Puppy – VIVIsectVI (Canada 1988, Gatefold, VG+/VG+) — $125

There is an argument — and we would make it — that VIVIsectVI is the peak of Skinny Puppy's catalog: the moment where their industrial textures, their animal-rights fury, and cEvin Key's production instincts all locked into place simultaneously. This is a Canadian original pressing from 1988 in gatefold, grading VG+/VG+, meaning it has been cared for by someone who understood what they had. Domestic pressings of Canadian industrial records from this era are harder to find than imports.

6. Siouxsie & The Banshees – Superstition (2018 Europe, Sealed) — $180

Superstition is one of the most underrated albums in the Banshees catalogue — a 1991 record that leaned harder into hypnotic groove and production sheen than anything they'd done before, and one that sounds absolutely enormous on a good system. This 2018 European pressing is still sealed. The Banshees catalogue has been reissued inconsistently over the years, and a clean sealed copy of a quality European press is the version you actually want to own.

7. The Cramps – Songs the Lord Taught Us (2016 Limited Edition, Numbered, Sealed) — $125

The debut album from The Cramps remains one of the strangest and most thrilling records in American underground history — psychobilly, proto-goth, and pure swamp-soaked derangement, produced by Alex Chilton and recorded partly at a psychiatric hospital. This 2016 limited edition pressing is still sealed and numbered, which means there's a finite run and this is one of them. If you've been waiting for the right copy of this album, a sealed numbered pressing is about as definitive as it gets.

8. The Stranglers – The Raven (UK 1979, NM-/NM-) — $95

The Raven is The Stranglers at their most adventurous — the record where they shed the pub-punk associations entirely and pushed into something genuinely stranger and more synthesizer-driven, with one side recorded in quasi-3D sound that still sounds like a strange dream. This is a UK original from 1979 grading NM-/NM-, which on a record that's 45 years old means someone loved it. UK originals of the classic Stranglers albums are becoming legitimately difficult to source in this kind of shape.

9. Iggy And The Stooges – Raw Power (1973 Canada, VG/VG+) — $110

Raw Power is the record that punk learned its posture from, the record David Bowie mixed (controversially), the record that still sounds more dangerous than most things made in any decade since 1973. This is a Canadian original pressing — same year, different plant — grading VG on the sleeve and VG+ on the vinyl, which means it plays beautifully. Original pressings of Raw Power in any condition are becoming increasingly hard to find at fair prices.

10. Killing Joke – Night Time (Europe, Remastered, 180g, Sealed) — $60

Night Time is the Killing Joke album that crossed over — the one with "Love Like Blood" — but don't let the relative accessibility fool you: this is a ferocious, beautifully produced record that holds up better than almost anything else from 1985. This European remastered 180g pressing is still sealed. At $60, it's the accessible entry point of the collection — the one you grab on your way to the counter while you're thinking about one of the bigger items.

The full collection is on the site now and the pieces above are in stock as of this writing — but this is the kind of material that moves. Come into the shop, dig through what's left, and talk to us about any of it.
