Formed in Southgate in the early eighties, the band were Nick Laird-Clowes, Kate St.John and Gilbert Gabriel - and even from the names you can tell this was a band from the arty side of town. That manifests itself across the 24 tracks here, that include five previously unreleased recordings and one new song. Apart from the obvious [Life In A Northern Town], other tracks that might be familiar to eighties enthusiasts are The Edge of Forever and a delicate cover of The Smiths' Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want as both featured in the classic move Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
