Punk and Post Punk Samples (Part 1)

I needed some good news after last week, and received two surprising and welcome announcements from the record label Tiny Global Productions. 

HAF FOUND KARL BURNS!  The Fall's drummer -- who couldn't be located by the author of a book about former Fall members -- has resurfaced as the newest member of House Of All (pictured at left).  Karl Burns will be one of three drummers on House Of All Souls, which will be released in February 2025.  Burns joins fellow Fall drummers Paul Hanley and Simon Wolstencroft in the expanded House Of All lineup, led by Martin Bramah (at center with arms outstretched; Karl Burns behind him with black T-shirt and hat). 

The other exciting news is that Tiny Global Productions will issue previously unreleased tracks from John McKay, former guitarist of Siouxsie & The Banshees.  McKay and drummer Kenny Morris walked away from the band in 1979 while on tour in Scotland.  I wrote about their departure (and subsequent musical activities) at AJ's blog (which is now called Themes From Dead Cities -- not to be confused with his OTHER blog, The Dimension Of Imagination).  

This is a lengthy introduction to today's post, a set of songs that sample punk and post-punk classics.  Khayem's post on Dubhed a year ago (which collects video footage of the Banshees with McKay and Morris) inspired a search for Siouxsie samples used in hip hop and electronic music.  A track recommended by Khayem closes out the set.  McKay's successor John McGeoch is featured on several tracks.  After some virtual crate digging at WhoSampled (and adding some songs that I already knew), I ended up with these 18 tracks.  The Fall is present here, as well as Marco Pirroni's band Rema-Rema. Listed below at right are the original songs (and artists) that were sampled.
