Pure Mania is the debut album by The Vibrators, who have always been considered one of the most important punk pioneers in the UK. The band was formed in 1976 by Ian ‘Knox’ Carnochan, Pat Collier, John Ellis and John ‘Eddie’ Edwards. In 1976 they were backed by Sex Pistols producer Chris Spedding, who recommended the band to the successful RAK label.

The band had legendary shows on John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 and played the pioneering punk venue: London’s Roxy Club. The band supported Iggy Pop and Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter. Pure Mania has always been considered a true punk classic that was essential to the birth of the British punk scene. Even the Stiff Little Fingers took their name from a track on the album. The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music also named Pure Mania as one of the 50 greatest punk albums of all time.

Pure Mania is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent magenta coloured vinyl.
