Description
This 4 CD box set includes all of the bands recordings for Epic Records between 1976-78 including sessions for the BBC. Disc 1 is the debut "Pure Mania" classic which hit No. 49 in the UK National Charts. Includes the seminal 'Baby Baby' 45. Disc 2 is the "V2" album which charted at No. 33 in 1978 and includes the hit singles 'Automatic Lover' (No. 35) and 'Judy Says' (No. 70). The third disc comprises three sessions recorded for the legendary John Peel show on BBC Radio and they are joined by the four tracks the band performed on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" TV show. The last disc sees the band In Concert from the London Marquee, in the summer of '77 at the height of the Punk Rock explosion. We've used the full 19 track raw mixing desk version of the show - so much better than the overdubbed truncated version!

Looks good, but oddly missing their first single, "We Vibrate" b/w "Whips & Furs" (a different recording from the LP version).

That single was released on RAK, preceding The Vibrators' contract with Epic Records.
