Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018
The Associates were leading lights of the New Pop movement from the early 1980s. Hailing from Dundee on the east coast of Scotland, the band signed to Fiction before spells with Situation Two and WEA Records.
Originally released in February 1985 after exhaustive recording sessions, The Associates followed their debut ‘Sulk’ with this ten track offering. The album was a long time in the making and featured four different producers, Heaven 17’s Martyn Ware, Martin Rushent, Dave Allen and Greg Walsh.
Disc One features the ten original album tracks plus four instrumentals that were included on the original cassette release of the album.
Disc Two features all the related bonus tracks for which master tapes still exist. This includes the extended versions of singles ‘Those First Impressions’, ‘Waiting For The Loveboat’ and ‘Take Me To The Girl’, plus single versions of ‘Waiting For The Loveboat’, ‘Breakfast’ and ‘Take Me To The Girl’. Other tracks include 7” and 12” b- sides.
