Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Best of 82/87' compiles Colourbox's 4AD recordings, from the dub-influenced early singles to the sample-heavy pop of their self-titled album. The Young brothers' group anticipated sample culture in British pop, a legacy sealed by their role in the M|A|R|R|S hit 'Pump Up the Volume'.
