The Art School Dance Goes On : Leeds Post-Punk 1977-84

The Leeds post-punk scene, and the impact of the city’s art schools on its music, have been unjustly overlooked – until now. This double vinyl set compiled by author Gavin Butt comprises hitherto unreleased, unheard and rare tracks, plus several favourites, by diverse art school acts who experimented with art-punk, electro, pop, dada, fluxus and punk-funk. Contains extensive liner notes and reproductions of unseen ephemera and artworks.

Features previously unreleased tracks including early recordings by Gang Of Four / Mekons / Delta 5 /Sheeny and The Goys and much more.
