I know this thread should maybe go in the Record label thread, but since they are for the most part a reissue label now and they were a viable label from 1976-1985, I thought it would have a nice home over here with the Punks.
Anywho, Stiff is doing an amazing job getting all of their stuff back into print. This year I've bought the following reissues:
Ten Pole Tudor - The Stiff Anthology
Wreckless Eric - Big Smash
Dirty Looks - Stiff Anthology
If you are at all curious about the first and second wave punks, Stiff Records is a good place to start. A list of artists that released singles or albums on the Stiff label, would look like a who's who of Rock & Roll (here's a short list: Nick Lowe, The Damned, Devo, the Feelies, Madness, Richard Hell, Motorhead, the Pogues, Elvis Costello and Graham Parker-- just to name a few). They've got a pretty nifty little website, where you can download a pdf of their entire back catalog and listen to their very cool Stiff Radio. Check it out
