Outsiders Count For Something: Albums Demos Live CD

Five CD set that explores the career of Adrian Borland-fronted punk rock pioneers The Outsiders. Two classic albums, the debut ep, a London live show and two discs full of previously unreleased demos, alternates and countless never before heard songs. Contains 47 previously unreleased recordings! #overseen by founding member Adrian Janes, and painstakingly restored from the original master tapes and cassettes. Formed whilst still at school in late 1974, The Outsiders charted their own unlikely path through the tumultuous punk era, releasing one of the very first independent 'punk' albums in the process and dividing opinion with their contribution to the new musical revolution. Aided and backed by front man Adrian Borland's father, the band produced material in an adventurous range of styles (somehow becoming 'post-punk' during the original wave), recorded in their own private studio and released material on their own Raw Edge label. Borland and co-founder Adrian Janes, whilst tapping into punk's energy, explored songwriting which dug deeper than much of whatever else was happening at the time, simultaneously youthful, reflective and knowing. Produced in association with founder and co-writer Adrian Janes, 'Count For Something' charts a recording career lasting less than two years and which segued into Adrian Borland's next project, The Sound.
