Synopsis

Album Description
2007 digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. In their short lifetime, the seminal Young Marble Giants (Alison Statton and brothers Stuart and Phil Moxham) released a handful of singles and just one album. That album, 1980's acclaimed Colossal Youth, is one of the most definitive records of the Post-Punk era; becalmed, resigned and a little tense, it created a new vocabulary for song. Colossal Youth quickly became the independent scene equivalent of a blockbuster smash and one of Rough Trade Records' best-sellers. Since then, their influence filters through every generation from Nirvana to Belle & Sebastian. This incredible reissue of the album and the collected works of YMB draws together the band's album and singles for the first time ever, remastered on double CD. Domino.

"I loved the Collosal Youth album back in the early 80's and to now have this collection is vital. A classic album the music haunts my memories past and present. If music were this beautiful then lot's of the over produced stuff today would be better off. Raw and ripe this music bites and allows you to join the taste.
