Here's what Cherry Red Records have to say about their latest release, which includes Hiroshima Mon Amour by Ultravox!...

Punk rock attracted both dreamers and schemers. Many were simply fired up by the music. Some were motivated by manifestos and personal agendas. Others vanished the moment the novelty wore off and the hair dye washed out, leaving behind one or two fine records. Others, like The Clash, The Jam and The Cure, resolved to stay the course, giving themselves new challenges while carving out successful careers. Above all, the post-punk landscape was populated with cult heroes.

Moving Away From The Pulsebeat takes a whistle-stop trip through that landscape as the dust settled on the apocalyptic overhaul of 1977. Curated in chronological order to preserve that journey, and capturing key singles, deep album cuts and fan favourites, this is the story of a genuinely subversive underground about to erupt upon the mainstream, rendering everything that had gone before irrelevant overnight.

Presented in extreme detail, with band-by-band biographies, sleeve imagery, release information and introductory essay by the widely published Mark Paytress, Moving Away From The Pulsebeat is an essential time capsule for veterans, collectors and newcomers alike.
