U.K. Subs

The A-Z of the U.K. Subs 26CD

£119.99

Released: 28th November 2025. Available on Edsel for the first time, 'The A-Z of The U.K. Subs' will be available in one complete CD box set featuring all 26 albums from 'Another Kind of Blues' through to 'Ziezo'. Including an incredible 542 tracks recorded and released across the band's then 37-year career, presented in a rigid box set with 26 individual wallets including original artwork. Founded in 1976 by frontman Charlie Harper, early on in their career the U.K. Subs set out to release an album for each letter of the alphabet, finally completing the task in 2016. The first four albums all charted in the UK Albums Chart - 'Another Kind of Blues' (no. 21), 'Brand New Age' (no. 18), 'Crash Course' (no. 8) and 'Diminished Responsibility' (no. 18). Those albums also featured the classic punk UK singles 'Stranglehold' (no. 26), 'Tomorrow's Girls' (no. 28), 'She's Not There' (no. 36), 'Warhead' (no. 30), 'Teenage' (no. 32), 'Party in Paris' (no. 37) and 'Keep On Runnin' (no. 41). As well as the albums, 'The A-Z of the U.K. Subs' features all the non-album singles, B-sides and rare compilation tracks. All of the albums have been remastered so that the Subs have never looked or sounded better. 'The A-Z of the U.K. Subs' was made with 16 guitarists, 20 bass players, 22 drummers and one Vocalist. Charlie Harper - along with long time bassist Alvin Gibbs - still leads the band to this very day and will have his eagerly anticipated autobiography 'An Anarchy of Demons' published in September 2025 which is sure to result in a blaze of publicity in both the music press and entertainment sections of the mainstream media.
