Buzzcocks’ art-pop rampage was primarily expressed through a succession of brilliant 7-inch singles recorded between 1977 and 1979, each a complete artefact with A and B sides of equal quality, packaged in picture sleeves which followed a coherent design aesthetic. Noise Annoys is a 14-track compilation of this music, compiled to complement the band’s first album Another Music In A Different Kitchen. Between them, these two albums offer 77 minutes of the most sublime guitar pop ever created in one concentrated period, made in Manchester and presented as a moment-defining art project.
