Completely Necessary (Anthology 1978-1982)

'The group has no niche, it doesn't fit in anywhere', explains Necessaries drummer Jesse Chamberlain in a 1980 Melody Maker interview. 'We just state the facts about life in America, like The Clash did about England, but we're not so heavy about it'. The Necessaries rose from the ashes of Harry Toledo & The Rockets, a little-known New York art-rock band playing gigs at Max's Kansas City during glam's metamorphosis into punk. 'Completely Necessary (Anthology 1978-1982)' is the first authorised collection of recordings by The Necessaries and includes 37 tracks, 28 of which are previously unissued.
