It won’t escape your attention this issue that we’re positively overflowing with boxsetrelated goodies. Of course, that’s partly due to the fact that Christmas is coming - oh yes it is! - and record labels have finally caught up with a backlog of releases after the industry’s Covid-related hiatus. But it’s also testament to the number of 80s artists with a wealth of great unheard material that has remained hitherto untapped. This unreleased work can often provide an intriguing alternative narrative that changes the face of the accepted story behind the genesis of a classic album.
