Limited Collector Vinyl in “Coke-Bottle Green”, sleeve with laminate matt finish, printed inner
sleeve.
Celebrating 45 years of Blancmange, this is the first collection to be curated by singer Neil
Arthur, tastefully blending a mixture of hits and personal favourites. Originally from the UK’s
post punk DIY scene, Blancmange found success in 1982, long player ‘Happy Families’ selling
Gold in the UK, and its 3 singles becoming international hits. They went on to have 7 Top 40
hits and 70 weeks in the UK album charts.
Long-standing admirers include Moby, John Grant and Honey Dijon, who states that “British
synth pop was hugely influential in the burgeoning house music scene and Blancmange was
a big part of that.”
Both formats contain the hits ‘Living on the Ceiling’, ‘Waves’, ‘Blind Vision’, ‘Don’t tell Me’ and
the Abba cover ‘The Day before you Came’, as well as recent favourites.
The vinyl is being pressed onto special Coke-bottle green vinyl. It features the 10 Blancmange’s
essential tracks, while the CD edition contains not less than 28 (!) bonus tracks compared to LP.
