REQUEST RESTOCK NOTIFICATION
always wanted to get into this legendary '80s janglepop band led by Creation's Alan McGee but didn't know where to start? why not just get it ALL! This box contains all six lps (plus a never-released seventh), all the singles & comp tracks, tons of demos (many of which are unreleased) and an unreleased live set, PLUS everything and more from his excellent previous band, Laughing Apple (and THAT band's predecessor, Newspeak) and some demos recorded with Jowe Head - I've gotta say: THIS is how you compile and package a discography!
