ARTERY are the most unsung of all the Sheffield bands to emerge from the post-punk era. At that time the city was a hotbed of creative activity, with the punk movement having broken down the barriers, leaving room for new and original ideas.
This is the seminal band featured in the acclaimed documentary 'Made In Sheffield' that the likes of JARVIS COCKER and the HUMAN LEAGUE said were the best band in the city and it was a travesty they never broke it big.
Compiled by SIMON HINKLER from the band (and later of THE MISSION), this album includes all the early singles "Mother Moon", "Unbalanced", "Cars In Motion" and "The Clown", most of the 'Oceans' mini-album and the excellent and never-previously released INPUT Studios demos.
Available as a strictly limited edition utilizing the themes of the original artwork of the singles and mini-album, this is the introduction to one of the UK's most innovative and intense groups of the past twenty years.
Essential for fans of GANG OF FOUR, A CERTAIN RATIO & THE SLITS.
JARVIS COCKER "Once I'd seen Artery that was it. I knew what I wanted to do. I'd never seen anything like that before and I probably haven't seen it since really."
