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]

While most of the acts on the album were US acts, it also included acts from the UK (the Damned), Ireland (the Boomtown Rats), France (Little Bob Story) and Australia (Skyhooks).
