Stiv – No Compromise, No Regrets (LP)

• Music from the documentary film on Stiv Bator, singer of the Dead Boys, Lords of the New Church and true original, pressed on red vinyl

• Artists include Deadbeat Poets, The Wanderers, Alpha Kitty, Jimmy Zero and Tango Pirates, as well as Stiv Bator and the Dead Boys

As the frontman for the Dead Boys, Stiv Bators terrorized audiences with his snotty, in-your-face punk rock style. But after the Dead Boys, Bators embarked on a musical journey that saw him touch upon new wave (the Wanderers), goth rock (the Lords of the New Church), and power pop (during a brief solo career), as well as a fling with movie acting.

The Dead Boys not only became an instant part of the CBGB’s punk scene, but they also enlisted the club’s owner, Hilly Kristal, as their manager. By specializing in a heavily Iggy Pop-influenced live show (which included Bators flailing himself around until he was battered and bloody, and faux-hanging himself on stage), the group built a buzz, which only intensified after the release of its 1977 debut, Young Loud & Snotty.

Stiv Bators has always been considered a real Punk Rock legend and one of the last true Rock & Roll original frontmen the world has seen.
