Extraordinary Sensations: Studio & Live 1979-1986

£31.99

Released: 19th January 2024. Featuring 76 tracks over 3CDs, this box set contains both of mod band Purple Hearts' two studio albums - the brilliant Chris Parry produced debut, 'Beat That!' (1980) and belated follow-up, 'Pop-Ish Frenzy' (1986). Plus six Jimmy Pursey produced demos recorded at Polydor in 1979 including energetic, early versions of singles 'Millions Like Us', 'Frustration' and 'Jimmy' and two Paul Weller produced demos, 'Plane Crash and 'Concrete Mixer', recorded at Polydor in 1981 and intended for Weller's Respond label but unissued. In addition, a fantastic 13 song, unreleased live set recorded at prestigious London club The Hippodrome in 1986 shows the band firing on all cylinders and features a scorching cover of The Creation's Pop Art mod favourite 'Painter Man'. Also included are four songs recorded live from the Mod Aid Alldayer held in Walthamstow, East London in 1985 plus two bonus tracks from the Purple Hearts reunion at Mods Mayday 99.
