Songs to Remember (2026 Remaster)

Description

The debut album of one of Britain’s most acclaimed and influential bands, ‘Songs to Remember’ takes us back to the beginnings of Scritti Politti. Having emerged out of the DIY Camden bedsit scene of the late 70s, yet with a musical vision to match the likes of Miles Davis (who they later worked with), the Green Gartside-led group established themselves as one of the early 80s’ true innovators as ‘Songs to Remember’ channelled both the fiery politics of the era with a burgeoning pop sensibility. Described as ‘witty and ingenious’ by NME on its release in 1982, ‘Songs to Remember’ has been fully remastered for this long overdue vinyl repressing, which has been personally overseen by Gartside himself.
