DESCRIPTION
Seven CD set. Digitally remastered collection. Originally a Northern Irish, London based quintet with an American singer, the band got together following the demise of The Undertones. Too late for Punk, too early for Grunge, That Petrol Emotion's output merged well-written melodic tunes with political statement. Singles and albums received rapturous reviews, gigs were sold-out joyous affairs. The band were always difficult to categorize and impossible to load onto a bandwagon, although no one could accuse the band of dabbling. As this collection shows, across the course of their ten years together, the quality of their songwriting never let up. With full co-operation from the band, this comprehensive 121 track 7 CD collection brings together all five of their studio albums plus a typically energy-packed live recording from May 1994. It celebrates a body of work that has stood the test of time and - all these years later - undoubtedly still deserves a wider audience.
