Classix Nouveaux / The Liberty Recordings 1981-1983

Four-CD set • Expanded versions of four albums

Classix Nouveaux / The Liberty Recordings 1981-1983

The Liberty Recordings 1981-1983 is a forthcoming four-CD box set compiling the output of British new wave band Classix Nouveau.

This set contains the band’s 1981 debut Night People, La vérité from 1982 – featuring the UK hit single ‘Is It A Dream’ –  and the final album Secret, which was produced by Alex Sadkin in 1983 (the year the same producer also worked on Duran Duran‘s Seven and the Ragged Tiger).

There was actually an international alternative of the Night People debut, simply titled Classix Nouveaux and that also features in this box set (with bonus tracks) which explains why The Liberty Years is a four-CD, four-album set.

In total, this package offers 67 tracks, with 25 of those bonus cuts make up of 12-inch versions, seven-inch mixes, B-sides, instrumentals and more.

A 20-page booklet features a full UK discography and a new interview from frontman Sal Solo.

The Liberty Recordings 1981-1983 will be released on 26 February 2021, via Cherry Red.
