TENSION and SINGLES REISSUES
In celebration of their 40th anniversary, we're pleased to announce the re-issue of our third album, A Different Kind of Tension, and the Singles Going Steady compilation on Friday 14th June.
Restored from their original tapes for the first time, both titles feature newly curated booklets and unseen images, with Jon Savage contributing the liner notes for A Different Kind of Tension and Clinton Heylin for Singles Going Steady. Artwork has been restored to original specification by Malcolm Garrett.
Postscript - Pete Shelley
In accordance with Pete Shelley's wishes, a private funeral was held in Maardu, Estonia on Thursday, December 13th. It was attended by his wife and a few close family friends. As noted in his eulogy, "However we knew Pete, we will miss him sorely in all his shapes and guises, but his legacy will live on in our memories and in the ways he has touched our lives."
