The Members
The Virgin Years 4CD
(2017)
To coincide with their 40th anniversary celebrations, "The Virgin Years" sees popular punk band The Members look back to the late 70s and their celebrated period spent with Virgin Records during the apex of the new wave and punk scene explosions. The first disc complied in this four CD boxset is The Members’ debut LP "At The Chelsea Nightclub", which saw the band break into the UK charts with the new wave anthem "Sound Of The Suburbs" alongside fellow hit "Offshore Banking Business". Following this disc is "1980 - The Choice Is Yours", another critically acclaimed album that added to The Members rapidly expanding legacy. Third disc "The BBC Sessions' is made up by two rare unreleased John Peel sessions, alongside a version of "Physical Love" recorded for Andy Peebles and a nine track In Concert for the BBC. Finishing this set off is a punk collectors dream disc, which gathers 11 previously unreleased studio demos including the fabled "End Of The Term", which has never seen the light of day.
