Review: Limited to 1000 copies, Just Want To Be Myself serves as the ultimate compilation of British punk, celebrating the vast array of exceptional acts the scene bore back in the glory days. A vinyl-only release, this double LP features cuts from the likes of The Boys, Cockney Rejects, The Valves, U.K. Subs, The Fall, Angelic Upstarts and The Ruts, to name but a small handful.
