HERESY - 1985-87 DIGIPACK CD UKHC RIPCORD STUPIDS

HERESY are one of the most influential UK Hardcore punk bands ever to exist. From 1985-1989 the band were one of the leading lights of the rapidly expanding UK Hardcore (Britcore) scene, and through their releases both for the then fledgling Earache label and through their own In Your Face imprint, their influence still lives on today, shown by the highly collectable prices paid for their long out of print back catalogue. Now, for the very first time, HERESY’s back catalogue has been totally remastered by Kalv Piper and Steve “Baz” Ballam from the band, and “1985-87” is the first of a trilogy of discography CD/LPs that Boss Tuneage released ("Face Up To It" and "20 Reasons To End It All" also still available on CD)

“1985-87” traces the early formative years of the band, from their previously unreleased 7 song demo tape from 1985, to the debut 6 track “Never Healed” flexidisc 7”EP, and the virtually-impossible-to –find 4 song “Thanks” 7”EP, rounded out with 2 additional previously unreleased tracks. Compiled with exhaustive and extensive sleevenotes from Kalv from the band, the packaging of the CD is a sumptuous digipack, resplendent with a huge 16 page full colour booklet insert containing dozens of never seen before photos, tour posters and lyrics. In essence, this release is an absolute must for any fan of HERESY or UK Hardcore.

Please note that this pressing on Boss Tuneage Retro Series contains extended liner notes and extra photos in place of the Japanese translations found on the original Japanese release.
