VA - YU Punk Vol 1 and Vol 2 (Punk Rock From Yugoslavia 1978-1986)

From 1960's France we now go to 1970's and 80's Yugoslavia. It should be no secret to any follower of the blog that I am a huge punk rock fanatic and have in fact already posted one compilation covering the scene in Yugoslavia. 
Yugoslavia was unique in that it was essentially the only Socialist state where punk was really tolerated. Tito's brand of Socialism made for a unique mix of state authoritarianism with western freedoms giving most the opportunity to have somewhat free speech and expression. Now I'm sure when most people hear the name Yugoslavia the last thing that comes to mind is punk rock. 
Yet this compilation shows just how much of what was happening in places like London and New York had an influence on the music in Belgrade, Zagreb, Sarajevo, and Ljubljana. There's everything from bands like the great Pekinska Patka with a sound reminiscent of the classic punk bands like The Ramones, Clash, or Buzzcocks. To Kontraritam which features a clearly ska and two-tone influenced sound. And even some bands with a much more hardcore style of playing. Simply put if you enjoy punk and want a great introduction to probably one of the least known punk scenes of Europe then I highly recommend giving this a listen.
