Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as part of a two-volume retrospective, this compilation sequences early seminal singles like the sprawling 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' with key album tracks. The collection effectively chronicles the Northampton group's role in the emergence of the foundational gothic rock movement through stark, theatrical post-punk.
