Description

Pure Mania is the explosive debut album by The Vibrators and one of the defining releases of the first wave of British punk rock.

Released in 1977, the album perfectly captures the raw energy, catchy melodies and no-nonsense attitude that made The Vibrators one of the most respected bands to emerge from the original UK punk scene.
