Pure Mania is a terrific relic of the punk era by a London band that owes much more to the Ramones than the Sex Pistols. Light on anger and nihilism but heavy on humor and fun, it's a blitz of twisted love songs ("Sweet Sweet Heart," Wrecked on You," etc.) with an ode to bondage thrown in for good measure. Label it music to shake your brains to. The Vibrators apparently thought they were playing pop music for the end of the decade (the '70s, that is), oblivious to the fact that the masses (especially in America) could never have been expected to catch on. That doesn't mean you shouldn't. --Mike Corrigan

5 out of 5 stars Classic Punk .......2007-06-28

Baby, Baby is one of my favorite songs on this CD!!! To omit it would be a sin. The structure, sound and style of the gutar solo in that song is classic punk. If you're a guitarist, figure out the solo and you'll see what I mean. The whole CD is great!!!

5 out of 5 stars I had no idea in 1977!.......2006-12-14

Yep, that's when I bought the original LP version of this album. Back in Jr High I was listening to anything loud -- Nugent, Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, it mattered not -- and I grabbed this one out of the bargain bin at my local record store just because it looked like it would hurt my stereo speakers. Thought it was pretty good then. But it wasn't until college that I started to get some musical sense, and really began to appreciate what a fine album this really is. Each track is tight, bright, and still as hard as steel-toed boots. My advice is to listen to it the way I used to listen to the vinyl: play side two (starting with Petrol, which has a great opening kick), build up to the blazing finish of Wrecked on You, I Need a Slave, and Bad Time (three songs played without a pause to flick off the sweat and breathe), then flip to side one and play the whole thing from start to finish. You will keep cranking it up, and one and a half times through will not be enough.

For those who'd like to dig further, I bought many of the their later releases on vinyl as well, and there are plenty more great tracks there too.

5 out of 5 stars Vibrator's.......2005-06-19

I think Hangar Eighteen summed things up best. As for the negative review I can understand that one too. I was somewhat unimpressed on first listen and the anti-drug sentiment and lack of rebelliosness did put me off a bit, but after living with this album for a while I can say nothing generates as much fun and pleasure as this one. I even love the preachy "Stay Clean". It could be my favorite album of all time if the lyrics were a bit raunchier, but even with that shortcoming it always gets played when I need an adrenaline rush and it has a lot of tough competition as I have 1000's of CD's(just mentioned so the reader knows it ain't easy to get played). Right now it is in my top 10 list of favorite CD's as well. A punk classic.

5 out of 5 stars Marvelous blast of blues tinged pogo.......2005-05-01

This CD is magical, and one of the few blues infused cocktails served up in punk '77. The band must have been playing twelve bar tripe around London for years -they are tight! -and one day they discovered punk. Well, what do we do now, mates? Try as they might, the blues licks are still there, emerging from the delicious chord structures at just the right emotional high point. "Baby baby baby" could have been either shortened or left off the CD. Otherwise, this piece of musical history is perfect.

5 out of 5 stars One of the first, one of the best.......2005-03-10

When me and my friends "discovered" punk rock way back in 1979 along with records from The Sex Pistols, Ramones, Television, Stranglers, The Damned there was Pure Mania from the Vibrators.
A true reference of the british 77 period. Powerful and melodic Fender Precision bass playing, stomping, clean and suculent drum in chugging 4/4 patterns with tasty hi-hat, and fat, proficient guitar playing with vocals being swapped with lots of melody and punk snarl.
Much more musical than the subsequent wave of punk as much of the first wave brit acts was.
Wanna get good true 77 brit punk rock? Pure Mania is definetely a ticket.

      5 out of 5 stars The best-sounding version ever!.......2006-02-07

      Where to begin? Finally the ORIGINAL UK mix (previous CDs have the remixed-for-the-US audio)! The drums explode, the bass rumbles and the guitar is like a divebomber. I can't recommend this enough to a Vibrators fan and to any curious about the 77 UK punk scene - this is one of the essentials and this release is definitive. The booklet has lyrics, liner notes, and photos. The album cover art is faithfully reproduced on the inlays. PLUS - it also has a couple live b-sides, a single version of "Whips and Furs" and the very rare first Vibrators single, "We Vibrate." Excellent all around!
