The Age Of Consent – 40Th Anniversary Edition (Vinyl) - By: Bronski Beat - Model Number: LMS1725203

Description

Synth pop trio Bronski Beat™s 1984 debut The Age of Consent is a rarity in musical history “ an album that both defined a generation and challenged the status quo. Its four singles, and particular lead single ˜Smalltown Boy™, have endured with astonishing resonance, o;ering home to all listeners dreaming of escape from their familiar surroundings and situations.
Every track on the album places the listener ˜in the room™: they are in it, living it, rolling inside each song™s thematic meaning. Through the blue-eyed wonder of singer Jimmy Somerville™s vocal pirouettes, they too take the punch of hate in ˜Why?™, question the bible with alongside a male voice choir on ˜It Ain't Necessarily So™, and watch the same crappy TV advertising on ˜Junk™.
They are part of the trade-o; between lust and commerce in ™Love and Money™ and the heated near climax of ˜Need A Man Blues.™
40 years later and The Age of Consent remains as prescient and vital as ever as it did on its original release; truly transgressive - defiant, queer, and laden with hooks. To celebrate this important anniversary, London Records revisit the album across a series of expanded formats, uncovering sonic archival gems, new mixes, essays and more.
