Formed in Manchester during the late 1970s, this legendary post-punk outfit emerged from a chance meeting at a local concert. The classic lineup featured distinctive vocals, angular guitar work, propulsive bass, and precise drumming that would define a generation. Named after a David Bowie–Brian Eno composition, the group quickly became architects of a darker, more introspective sound.
This edition includes five bonus demo tracks recorded at Pennine Studios in Manchester on 18 July 1977, capturing the raw energy and creative vision of the band's formative period. These early recordings showcase the group's evolving songwriting and instrumental interplay before their landmark studio releases.
An essential document of post-punk's most influential era.
