Release Calendar

Fronted by late singer/songwriter Terry Hall after his tenure in both The Specials and Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield’s short-lived but eclectic tenure stood out among the synthpop and New Wave of the mid-’80s, with winning acoustic arrangements and an appreciation for ’60s and ’70s songcraft. This 5CD/1DVD box offers a full look at the band through their two albums (1985’s Virgins and Philistines and 1987’s Deception), B-sides and single versions, and some 40 unreleased tracks including demos and live cuts – plus a thorough filmography featuring music videos and BBC live TV performances. John Earls’ liner notes combine vintage commentary from Hall (who died in 2022) and new recollections from his bandmates Toby Lyons and Karl Shale.
