The Pale Fountains, never forgotten

Release of a box set dedicated to the Pale Fountains, a British group that disappeared at the end of the 80s.

The box set includes the two albums and around forty previously unreleased tracks from the Pale Fountains.

Sometimes it doesn't take much for a British indie rock band to become a legend. Take The Pale Fountains , arguably one of the most underrated bands of the 1980s: two albums of slick, bossa nova-inspired pop, a minor hit in 1982 (Thank You), but a complete commercial failure followed by a split in 1986 (and huge losses for Virgin).

However, over the years, a core group of fans has formed, keeping the flame of memory alive, justifying the release of this box set, which brings together the albums Pacific Street and …From Across the Kitchen Table, as well as around forty previously unreleased tracks and rarities (demos, alternative takes, B-sides, single versions). A great way to discover the group led by the Head brothers, two cursed artists whose melodic talents – unlike their direct competitors Lloyd Cole or The Smiths – never translated into hard cash. Quite the opposite.
