1981 White Label Promo Featuring The Clash, Jam, The Beat, Specials, XTC, Peter Gabriel, Doors, Au Pairs, Stranglers, Madness & Others. Gold Promo Stamp On Jacket. Appears Unplayed. Released in 1982, "Life in the European Theater" is a compilation album curated as a benefit for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). The project brought together tracks from prominent UK new wave and punk acts, including The Clash, The Specials, and XTC, along with other contemporaries like The Jam, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Au Pairs. Rather than featuring exclusive or previously unreleased material, the album’s tracklist comprises notable album cuts and singles, chosen to resonate with the anti-nuclear, politically charged themes of the time. The title itself is a play on military terminology, referencing both European Cold War anxieties and the "theater" of activism, underscoring the era's pervasive sense of urgency regarding nuclear proliferation.
