'THE HISTORY OF ANAGRAM RECORDS 1982 TO 1987' - First time on CD for this comprehensive round up of the influential Anagram Records. Anagram Records was started by Cherry Red Records in 1982. At that time the Cherry Red label had a very distinct image and a new label was needed to release records by harder edged punk and goth acts. The name Anagram was chosen because it had no distinct identity, the image would be created by the music released. The first release, One Way System's 'Give Us A Future/Just Another Hero' came out in September 1982 and was a Top 30 Independent chart hit. Another 14 of the tracks on this compilation also entered the Independent singles chart. Many of these early tracks have never been on CD and are much sort after by collectors. The bumper CD booklet contains a listing of the entire Anagram Records catalogue as well as an extensive history of the label. Featuring Alien Sex Fiend, The Meteors, Angelic Upstarts, One Way System, The Vibrators, Outcasts, Pressure, and more. Comprehensive round up of a highly influential punk label.
