Album Description2009 compilation from the UK Britpopsters. Formed in the mid-1980s, THE Claim hailed from Cliffe in Kent and emerged as part of the Medway Valley scene of bands which reared The Prisoners, The Dentists and The Milkshakes. This is the first-ever CD from The Claim, a retrospective drawn from two albums and various singles issued between 1985 and 1992. Many of these records fetch high prices on eBay today, perhaps prompted by their association with the C86 scene. Their poignant, melodic style attracted comparisons with both The Jam and The Smiths as well as some of the early Creation Records bands. Today, it's easy to draw parallels with their contemporaries The Stone Roses and even Blur. 25 tracks. Rev-Ola.
