That Petrol Emotion / Every Beginning Has A Future: An Anthology 1984-1994

First ever anthology for the band

Edsel will release Every Beginning Has A Future in November, a 7CD band-curated Anthology that bookends the decade in the spotlight of That Petrol Emotion.

The band were London based but originally from Northern Ireland and had an American singer in Steve Mack. They never quite had any hit singles (1987’s ‘Big Decision’ came closest stalling at #42) but their second album Babble was criticallly acclaimed at reached number 30 in the UK album charts.

This new 7CD set features all five albums (Manic Pop Thrill (1986), Babble (1987), End of the Millennium Psychosis Blues (1988), Chemicrazy (1990) and Fireproof (1993)).

Every Beginning Has A Future: An Anthology 1984-1994 is a 7CD box set (click image to enlarge)

There’s a bonus disc devoted to Chemicrazy and the other albums offer extra tracks in the form of non-album B-sides, bonus tracks, remixes, live recordings and fan club only releases. A live album at the end completes the seven-disc set which in total delivers 121 tracks.

This comes with a 52-page book with sleeve notes by John Harris and rare images and photographed memorabilia supplied by the band. An Amazon UK exclusive SIGNED edition comes with five postcards signed by the original band members.

Every Beginning Has A Future: An Anthology 1984-1994 will be released on 25 November 2022, via Edsel.
