4CD - Limited 40th Anniversary Casebound 44-page Mediabook Edition (54 Tracks).

A 54-track extravaganza that celebrates the bright, burning, brief career of Haircut 100. The group moved from being London underground darlings to chart sensations in less than six months, and within a year had disappeared into pop’s ether, leaving behind one memorable album and four Top 10 UK singles.

The set features:

New mastering from the original tapes of their debut album Pelican West, first released in February 1982, reaching No 2 in the UK and No 31 in the US.

 Pelican Plus - A disc of extended versions, B-sides and special remixes.

Junction BoxThe Unfinished Tracks. Pelican West 40 includes first-ever release of the eleven tracks that the band were working on in late Summer 1982 for the follow up album to Pelican West, to be titled Blue Hat For A Blue Day. Although unfinished, the five instrumentals, one guide- and five vocal tracks enthusiastically illustrate what would have happened next. Includes the Haircut 100 version of Club Boy At Sea and Whistle Down The Wind as well as an instrumental of A Blue Hat For A Blue Day, which were all to feature on Nick Heyward’s first solo album, North Of A Miracle in 1983.

Haircut 100% Live! Hammersmith Odeon Spring 1982 – A live album that highlights the group at the summit of their powers – high speed funk, to-die for pop and sweet melodies against the backdrop of Haircutmania. No overdubs and the high-octane energy of youth.

A four CD set, with 44-page booklet with a new 10,000 word note, an oral history of the time with all six members, interviewed and assembled by the set’s curator, author and DJ Daryl Easlea. Includes memorabilia and exclusive photographs from the personal collection of the band’s Graham Jones and Les Nemes.

Mastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering.

“In our pre-senile dementia years, we can sit here and still feel proud of something we did when we were nippers.” – Marc Fox (percussion), 2022

“This is what bands should be, nobody made any sense!” – Blair Cunningham (drums), 2022
