Four CDs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn December 1973 Hilly Kristal changed the name of his roots music bar from Hilly's on the Bowery to CBGB and altered his musical policy to hire mostly rock bands. He was indifferent to many of them (\"No one is going to like you guys, but I'll have you back,\" he told Joey Ramone), blissfully unaware of how important his scruffy little club would soon become. In the span of only 15 months, the five groups that comprise the CBGB's pantheon all debuted: Television in March 1974, followed by Ramones in August and Blondie in October, then Patti Smith in February 1975 and Talking Heads four months later. Those five groups all quickly got record deals and became popular enough to outgrow CBGB's. By the fall of 1977, Smith was the only one who was still playing there. What succeeded the Big Five was an array of new and retro styles, all of which feature here: No Wave (Sonic Youth, Mars, DNA, Bush Tetras), post-punk (Ritual Tension, Unknown Gender, Khmer Rouge), mutant funk and R\u0026amp;B (James Chance \u0026amp; The Contortions, Mink DeVille), art-rock bands (R. L. Crutchfield's Dark Day, The Revelons, Erasers, Jeff and Jane Hudson) hardcore punk (Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Vatican Commandos, Beastie Boys), and lots of power pop (Sorrows, The dBs, The Rudies, The Miamis, The Paley Brothers). The club's best-known bands are present on this compilation but we've also revived interest in dozens of unfairly forgotten acts that, for a moment in time, made an album, EP, 45, or even a demo that crackled with innovation, wit, and joy. CBGB no longer exists, at least not in the physical plane, but what happened between those soot-filled, beer-stinking walls continues to reverberate around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 The Dictators - (I Live for) Cars and Girls\u003cbr\u003e2 The Harlots of 42nd Street - S\u0026amp;M (I Can't Live Without You)\u003cbr\u003e3 The Magic Tramps - S\u0026amp;M - Leather Queen\u003cbr\u003e4 Patti Smith - Free Money\u003cbr\u003e5 The Brats - Be a Man\u003cbr\u003e6 City Lights - Travelin' Man\u003cbr\u003e7 The Hounds - Call Me (Previously Unreleased on CD)\u003cbr\u003e8 Erasers - It Was So Funny (That Song That They Sung)\u003cbr\u003e9 Ramones - Beat on the Brat\u003cbr\u003e10 Stuart's Hammer - Everybody's Depraved (Live at CBGB)\u003cbr\u003e11 The Planets - Come on Up (Previously Unreleased)\u003cbr\u003e12 Milk 'N' Cookies - Not Enough Girls (In the World)\u003cbr\u003e13 Just Water - They Live By Night\u003cbr\u003e14 Television - See No Evil\u003cbr\u003e15 Mumps - Crocodile Tears\u003cbr\u003e16 The Heartbreakers - Born to Lose\u003cbr\u003e17 Testors - You Don't Break My Heart\u003cbr\u003e18 The Dead Boys - Ain't Nothing to Do\u003cbr\u003e19 The Senders - You Really Piss Me Off\u003cbr\u003e20 The Electric Chairs - F*** Off\u003cbr\u003e21 Marbles - Forgive and Forget\u003cbr\u003e22 Cherry Vanilla - Hard As a Rock\u003cbr\u003e23 Tuff Darts - Fun City\u003cbr\u003e24 Talking Heads - a Clean Break (Let's Work) (Live)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2\u003cbr\u003e1 Suicide - Ghost Rider\u003cbr\u003e2 Pure Hell - I Feel Bad\u003cbr\u003e3 Helen Wheels - Room to Rage\u003cbr\u003e4 Blondie - Picture This\u003cbr\u003e5 Mars - Helen Forsdale\u003cbr\u003e6 Come on - Don't Walk on the Kitchen Floor\u003cbr\u003e7 Mink Deville - \"A\" Train Lady\u003cbr\u003e8 The Heat - Instant Love (Previously Unreleased on CD)\u003cbr\u003e9 Genya Ravan - Aye Co'lorado\u003cbr\u003e10 Theoretical Girls - Lovin' in the Red\u003cbr\u003e11 Richard Hell \u0026amp; the Voidoids - the Kid with the Replaceable Head\u003cbr\u003e12 The Stillettos - Pink Stillettos\u003cbr\u003e13 The Paley Brothers - Baby, Let's Stick Together\u003cbr\u003e14 Neon Leon - Rock 'N' Roll Is Alive (Previously Unreleased on CD)\u003cbr\u003e15 Revelons - the Way (You Touch My Hand)\u003cbr\u003e16 New York Ni*Ers - Just Like Dresden '45\u003cbr\u003e17 L.O.K. - Fun House (Previously Unreleased on CD)\u003cbr\u003e18 Material - O.A.O\u003cbr\u003e19 The Laughing Dogs - I Need a Million\u003cbr\u003e20 Shrapnel - Combat Love\u003cbr\u003e21 Peroxide - Heart Disease\u003cbr\u003e22 Student Teachers - Christmas Weather\u003cbr\u003e23 Tom Verlaine - Breakin' in My Heart\u003cbr\u003e24 Richard Lloyd - Number Nine\u003cbr\u003e25 James Chance \u0026amp; the Contortions Jailhouse Rock (Live at CBGB 1978)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 3\u003cbr\u003e1 The Cramps - Garbage Man\u003cbr\u003e2 The Dots - I Don't Wanna Dance (With You) (Previously Unreleased on CD)\u003cbr\u003e3 The Miamis - We Deliver\u003cbr\u003e4 Model Citizens - Shift the Blame\u003cbr\u003e5 The DB's - Black and White\u003cbr\u003e6 The Rattlers - on the Beach\u003cbr\u003e7 Love of Life Orchestra - Revolution Is Personal\u003cbr\u003e8 Urban Verbs - Next Question (Previously Unreleased)\u003cbr\u003e9 Sylvain Sylvain - Teenage News\u003cbr\u003e10 Stimulators - Loud Fast Rules\u003cbr\u003e11 Tot Rocket and the Twins - Reduced\u003cbr\u003e12 The Bongos - Telephoto Lens\u003cbr\u003e13 Outsets - I'm Searchin' for You\u003cbr\u003e14 Sorrows - Teenage Heartbreak\u003cbr\u003e15 The Lounge Lizards - Do the Wrong Thing\u003cbr\u003e16 Nervus Rex - There She Goes\u003cbr\u003e17 The Cosmopolitans - Wild Moose Party\u003cbr\u003e18 Polyrock - Your Dragging Feet\u003cbr\u003e19 Lenny Kaye with the Lone Wolves - Child Bride (Previously Unreleased on CD)\u003cbr\u003e20 R.L.
