Product Description

VARIOUS
(CD)
[ERA : 70s, 80s / New Wave, Rock, Pop ]
HARMONY IN MY HEAD ecplores the boom in Power Pop and New Wave which followed the Punk explosion in 1977. New Wave was a term coined in 1977 to describe a clutch of new artists whose music shared much of the energy of punk, but boasted a more sophisticated level of musicianship and a heavier reliance on traditional pop melodies. Although the term had such a wide definition in the States that it was quickly rendered almost meaningless, it was more strictly applied in the UK, with the radio-friendly likes of Elvis Costello and Squeeze scoring numerous hits and influencing younger bands to the extent that, by the early Eighties, the New Wave itself had become Old Wave. Eventually the genre also became known as Power Pop. Once again, there was a significant difference between the UK and US models, but Britain had its own Power Pop scene that slowly mutated into the Mod Revival & then into the short-lived New Psychedelia movement. HARMONY IN MY HEAD includes many of the New Wave/Power Pop scene's biggest hitters alongside the more melodic Punk bands. who are joined by other less successful but nevertheless key players as well as a host of rare 45s on tiny labels, many of which have never been on CD before.The deluxe clamshell package includes a weighty booklet full of illustrations, with a 12,000-word sleeve-note incorporating band-by-band biographies by compiler David Wells.
