Altered Images / The Epic Years box

All the albums • Bonus tracks • Additional CD with 12-inch mixes

Cherry Red will in February issue The Epic Years, a new four-CD box set that brings together “pretty much all” of Altered Images‘ releases on Epic Records.

The Scottish band were fronted by Clare Grogan and are best known for their UK number two hit Happy Birthday (the title track of their debut).  The first three CDs in this 60-track box set deliver the band’s three albums Happy Birthday (1981), Pinky Blue (1982) and Bite (1983) but crucially, each CD also includes bonus tracks such as B-sides, seven-inch single mixes, versions exclusive to cassette singles and more.

The fourth and final CD in this set is dubbed The 12″ Album and collects all the various dance mixes issued at the time.

The Epic Years is a clamshell box set and the booklet included features notes from Daryl Easlea. It will be released on 23 February 2018.
