The Singles 1978-85
Angelic Upstarts
44-track 2CD set covering every A and B-side issued by Punk legends Angelic Upstarts between 1978-85. Running in chronological order, it starts with the self released 'The Murder Of Liddle Towers' and is followed by the major label debut of 'I'm An Upstart' which hit No. 31 in the UK charts. 'Teenage Warning' then hit No. 29 and saw the band in the nation's living rooms via their appearance on Top Of The Pops. A hat-trick of hits was completed when 'Never 'Ad Nothin' hit No. 52 in late 1979. The band moved into the 1980s with hits like 'Out Of Control' (No. 58), 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' (No. 58 and incredibly appearing here on CD for the first time in it's original 7" version), 'Last Night Another Soldier' (No. 65) and 'Kids On The Street' (No. 57) before they switched to (then) newly established Independent label Anagram Records. The hits kept coming though: 'Woman In Disguise' reached No. 18 in the Independent Chart, swiftly followed by a No. 24 for 'Solidarity'. Despite numerous disruptive line-up changes vocalist Mensi remained a constant throughout and achieved further notoriety with the No. 14 'Machine Gun Kelly' and the No. 4 'Brighton Bomb'. Each of the 17 singles featured has a detailed history included in the booklet which is illustrated by the original sleeves.
