Hard To Beat

Cheap 28 Track Double CD Set. Derry’s finest debuted in 1978 with Teenage Kicks, 2 minutes 23 seconds of immaculate guitar noise that has been covered (but never bettered) by everyone from Supergrass to K T Tunstall, Green Day to Busted. John Peel’s `favourite record of all time’ was followed by a dozen perfect pop singles including Jimmy Jimmy, Here Comes The Summer, My Perfect Cousin and Wednesday Week. Four cracking albums showed a band prepared to take risks as punk morphed into new wave and on into electro pop and new romanticism
