AllMusic[1]

Another Kind of Blues is the first studio album released by English punk band, the U.K. Subs. It was released in the UK on 14 September 1979 on GEM Records, a subsidiary of RCA.[2] It is considered as a classic from the punk era.

The style of music borrows heavily from blues and rock'n'roll but infused much of the energy and social commentary that was shaping the wider punk rock scene.

Critics were divided on the album's merits. Writing for the New Musical Express, Charles Shaar Murray described the album as being 'As appetising as the tea-bag left to dry on the saucer' [3] , while in Sounds, Garry Bushell awarded the album five stars and called it 'a near perfect slice of good time high energy punk.' [4]

The Best of UK SUBS 1982-1998, 2xCD

Perennial punk rockers UK SUBS seem to be constatly on a world tour. Led by the Peter Pan of punk, Charlie Harper since their inception in 1977, the Subs have continued touring constantly, everywhere from tiny pubs to giant festivals. This ‘BEST OF’ rounds up an productive 16 year period, and comes together with a bonus CD featuring a typical exciting live show.

32 years on, 2009 is a typical gigging around-the-world year for this most dedicated of the original punk bands, with a successful 7-week, 37 date tour of Europe followed by a month around the UK, then off to America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and many other countries. (see link in tour-dates section.)
‘SUB MISSION’, compiled by Charlie Harper, takes the best 20 tracks from their albums F - R (albums are issued alphabetically). And for fans, the CD includes a bonus CD with a previously unreleased live recording of the Subs in top form in Bristol 1991, with 18 of the UK Subs hits and live favourites.
The album includes pics of all the UK Subs members over the years, sleeve-notes and track-by-track info by Steve Harnett, and a discography. The package should retail in shops for a bargain ‘under a tenner’ for the two-CD set.
