Product Description
CD boxset containing the complete recordings made between 1992 and 1995 by Sugar.

The short Copper Blue is the debut album by Sugar, the short-lived but brilliant trio of Bob Mould (guitar, vocals), David Barbe (bass) and Malcolm Travis (drums). Upon the band's formation at the start of 1992, Bob Mould already enjoyed legendary status thanks to his legacy as a key member of Hüsker Dü, the Minneapolis band that within six years and seven albums transcended their roots in the US hardcore punk scene and drafted a new blueprint for rock music that would influence a generation of younger musicians most notably the Pixies and Nirvana. Following Hüsker Dü's acrimonious break-up in January 1988, Mould recorded two solo albums for Virgin. By the beginning of 1992 he had assembled a new band, signed to the rising Creation Records and released 3 UK top 10 albums, including the classic debut Copper Blue (NME's 1992 album of the year).

The set contains all 3 studio albums, a B-sides collection, and a live album all in CD size mini-replica sleeves plus a 36 page book containing photos, rare memorabilia and candid interviews that tell the story of the band's short but intense career in their own words. All recordings have been remastered from the original tapes by FUEL engineer Jim Wilson.

Unless you're an absolute completist and/or can't live without the video content from the UK reissues, this is a pretty good instant Sugar collection.
