WIKI

Urgh! A Music War (Soundtrack) - 1981
One of the first real new wave rock albums that opened my eyes to new bands and music exploration beyond what was on the radio or popular at school.
The film is all live performances recorded around 1980, mainly in London, Portsmouth, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Monica and New York. My buddy had the video (VHS!) so we’d watch it regularly throughout the early 80s.
The soundtrack came out a year before the film and was packaged as a double album gatefold. It’s got some great performances, and the sound quality is solid.
It’s where I first heard Klaus Nomi, Pere Ubu, and Magazine.
It’s got my favorite version of The Police doing "Driven to Tears", and an amazing performance by The Cramps, doing their version of “Tear It Up”.
