New Wave is a notable[1][2] punk/new wave/proto-punk compilation album released in 1977 on Vertigo Records.[3] It introduced many US new wave artists to the UK market and helped establish the term "new wave".[4] The album was compiled by Alan Cowderoy for Phonogram Ltd. (London) and most of the artists were on Phonogram subsidiary labels, making it essentially a sampler album. The album credits give thanks to Linda and Seymour Stein from Sire Records and Jake Riviera and Kosmo Vinyl from Stiff Records.[5] Music critic Ira Robbins rated it one of his top ten albums of 1977.[6]

The front cover depicts a punk spitting beer.[7] The punk in the photo is Derek Gibbs, vocalist for the London-based punk band The Satellites. Also seen in the background of the photo is the Satellites' bass player, John Johnson.[4][8][9] The rear cover has 11 photos of punks posing in colourful clothing. All the photos were taken by Peter 'Kodick' Gravelle[9] who was one of the first punk photographers, shooting record sleeve photos for the Damned, Generation X, Skrewdriver, Chelsea and others.[10]
