Compiled from the years 1982 to 1987, it includes a wealth of archival photographs, an essay by original member Andy McGregor, who also designed the sleeve, and essays by longtime friend Shirley Manson (Garbage, Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie) and author Alastair McKay, an early cham- pion of the band. The release features the first legend- ary John Peel Session, produced by Dale Griffin and originally broadcast in May 1985. \u003cem\u003e“This compilation was \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ea long time in the making, a labour of love for the band, showcasing our most productive years as a six-piece. The compilation of tracks – from professional BBC recordings to live performance and rehearsal room demos – gives as broad a spectrum of the breadth of the band’s creativity during those five important years from 1982 to 1987,” \u003c\/em\u003esays founding member Chris Connelly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn into the cash-poor but culturally-wealthy environs\u003cbr\u003eof post-punk Edinburgh in 1980, as a three-piece with no drummer, they soon swelled into a muscular six-piece with inherited or cheaply-purchased instruments. Drawing on influences from Throbbing Gristle, Wire, Can, Captain Beefheart, to numerous angular funk bands, they also drew from the seemingly bottomless well of modern film, writing, and art that was abundant in the festival city. These works include the legendary John Peel session from 1985, the original 12” singles (including “Detesti- mony”) and the WaxTrax! singles, as well as unreleased live tracks. All tracks have been lovingly remastered and produced by the band’s members.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable as a three-CD digipak with 24-page booklet, and as abridged single vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve with insert.
