Viva La Rock 'N' Roll:Complete Deptford Fun City (CD)

Limited four CD set. Fronted by punk pioneer and Sniffin' Glue editor Mark Perry, Alternative TV evolved as one of the most exciting independent acts of the original punk explosion of 1977. Between ‘77 and ‘80, Mark Perry was behind a string of fascinating post-punk records on Deptford Fun City Records - credited to ATV, the Good Missionaries and Mark Perry solo. Viva La Rock 'n' Roll is a set collating Perry's entire recorded output for the label, including many recordings available for the first time on CD. ATV's classic debut album The Image Has Cracked and follow-up Vibing Up The Senile Man are joined by all their singles A's and B's, tracks from their shared album What You See... Is What You Are and other rarities, including BBC sessions for John Peel. Mark Perry himself has written the comprehensive sleeve-notes for this landmark release, alongside a wealth of rare visual material within the sizeable booklet. The original artwork for each album is reproduced within the wider 'clamshell' box set.
