Jumpers/198X- Original Milano Punk Rock 1978 - ‘80 LP.  Punk, as a very small subcultire, became increasingly popular in Milan only after the Adam and the Ants concerts in 1978. After this event in mid October of ‘78, the local kids became conscious of the idea to build a small punk scene and to start forming bands. Decibel were already operating at that point, but after the gig bands like Mittageisen, Gags, TV Vampire began to form along with the two bands on this LP ... Jumpers and 198X. This album contains three tracks by Jumpers, two of which made it to the test pressing stage for a single, but were never officially released. Their sound is good tough mid-tempo punk rock in the vein of the Clash and Sex Pistols. The other 12 songs are from a couple different recording sessions from 198X who’s sound is a mix of Wire, early Siouxsie And The Banshees and Adam + The Ants. Pretty hard to find recordings from two bands that helped lay the foundation for the Italian first wave punk scene. Import from Italy.
