Secret Affair / Est 1979: 35th Anniversary 4CD box set

Belated nod to this four-CD set collecting the work of those Mod revivalists Secret Affair, who released three albums and enjoyed five top 75 hits between 1979 and 1981 with Time For Action peaking at number 13.

This new four-CD clamshell box from Captain Mod Records contains all three albums of that era (Glory Boys, Behind Closed Doors and Business As Usual) as well as 2012 ‘comeback’ album Soho Dreams.

The 51-track collection includes bonus tracks for the first two albums, including rare US single mixes and comes complete with a 24-page booklet with previously unpublished photos plus a brand new essay on the history of the band, all overseen by guitarist Dave Cairns.

Secret Affair Est 1979 is out now.
