Before anyone did anything, Wayne County had done it all. Forming the first proto-punk band Queen Elizabeth in 1972, followed by Wayne County And The Backstreet Boys, and then this band in 1977, Wayne County And The Electric Chairs. Of course the influence of Wayne can be felt through music then, and still today, laying the foundations for the Ramones, Patti Smith, along with forging the ideas picked up by Lou Reed and even David Bowie. Nowadays however, Wayne is known as Jayne County, another side of the inspiring fearlessness this artist has shown.
There is no discounting the music Wayne County created, which is what makes this four disc set something extremely worthwhile, and indispensable. Between 1977-79, Wayne County And The Electric Chairs released four albums of material on the now defunct Safari label. Three studio releases, and one live set. That itself displays the work rate of the outfit, therefore the contents of this set, 57 tracks, are the go-to retrospective for this revolutionary outfit.
