T'Pau - The Virgin Anthology (2017)

his collection is a comprehensive, 4-CD curation of T'Pau's Virgin Records career: all those glorious singles from the mighty, quadruple platinum debut album Bridge Of Spies ('87), the two Top Ten albums which followed, the platinum-selling Rage ('88) and Top 10 gold-selling The Promise ('91), plus a glimmering collector's grotto of B-sides, remixes, tantalising rarities and unreleased demo versions of the songs which lit up the late-80s skyline like luminous shooting stars. This sumptuous box set includes unseen photos, memorabilia and an essay by Sylvia Patterson, ex-Smash Hits writer and author of acclaimed book (nominated for the Costa Award) I'm Not With the Band .
