The Best of UK SUBS 1982-1998, 2xCD
Perennial punk rockers UK SUBS seem to be constatly on a world tour. Led by the Peter Pan of punk, Charlie Harper since their inception in 1977, the Subs have continued touring constantly, everywhere from tiny pubs to giant festivals. This ‘BEST OF' rounds up an productive 16 year period, and comes together with a bonus CD featuring a typical exciting live show.
32 years on, 2009 is a typical gigging around-the-world year for this most dedicated of the original punk bands, with a successful 7-week, 37 date tour of Europe followed by a month around the UK, then off to America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries. (see link in tour-dates section.)
‘SUB MISSION', compiled by Charlie Harper, takes the best 20 tracks from their albums F - R (albums are issued alphabetically). And for fans, the CD includes a bonus CD with a previously unreleased live recording of the Subs in top form in Bristol 1991, with 18 of the UK Subs hits and live favourites.
The album includes pics of all the UK Subs members over the years, sleeve-notes and track-by-track info by Steve Harnett, and a discography. The package should retail in shops for a bargain ‘under a tenner' for the two-CD set.
