The Epic Years 1976 - 78

Released to coincide with the band's 40th Anniversary, this 4 CD box set includes all of the band's recordings for Epic Records between 1976-78, including sessions for the BBC.

Pure Mania classic is featured on Disc 1, which hit No.49 in the UK National Charts and includes the seminal "Baby Baby" 45.

Disc 2 features the V2 album, which charted at No.33 in 1978 and includes the hit singles "Automatic Lover" (No.35) and "Judy Says" (No.70).

The third disc comprises three sessions recorded for the legendary John Peel show on BBC Radio, along with the four tracks the band performed on the Old Grey Whistle Test TV show.

The last disc captures the band in concert from the London Marquee in the summer of '77 at the height of the Punk Rock explosion. It's the full 19 track raw mixing desk version of the show, much better than the overdubbed truncated version!

Record Collector's Shane Baldwin has provided sleeve notes with contributions from the band, while the booklet also features pictures of all their releases from the period.
