1981-1984

Three CD set. This 46 track set is a round-up of seminal UK/82 punk band The Partisans. Disc One is the band's self-titled debut album which hit #5 in the Independent Chart back in 1983. The second disc is 1984's Time Was Right LP, an Indie Chart #20 hit. The band at this time featured bassist Dave Parsons, later of Transvision Vamp and Bush. The final disc is a rarities collection featuring non-LP singles and compilation album tracks plus a whole batch of previously unreleased studio demos and alternative mixes. The 20-page booklet features in-depth liner notes, pictures of all relevant record sleeves, clippings, rare photos, etc... all overseen by guitarist Andy Lealand.
