Search - Ski Patrol :: Versions of a Life (Recordings 1979/81)

In addition to collecting this acclaimed early '80s UK post-punk band's recorded output in one place for the first time, this anthology also aims to shine a fresh light on the largely under-appreciated, often elegiac gutter poetry of the late Ian Lowery, who passed away in 2001. It includes the band's first two singles, one of which is the 1980 indie-chart hit Agent Orange, previously unreleased mixes of their third single, their BBC Radio 1 John Peel radio session, three unreleased songs from their last studio session, and a brand new 2014 mix of Extinguish by the original engineer Mark Lusardi (acclaimed for his 'rock in dub' recordings with Killing Joke, Jah Wobble and The Members). All music has been digitally transferred, restored and re-mastered.
