First in this one - "Here Is Clare Grogan Now" or "Then" really with their first single ( one of two produced by Steve Severin ), followed by the elusive first ( pre M Squared ) single from The ( still at school / Northern beaches era ) Systematics.

Then an Artery single with 2 different versions on each side, I have chosen the b-side, seems like it must be from a Peel Session as it's  co-produced by band & the BBC Tony Wilson ( not the Factory TW ). Staying in a northerly way after that with Vice Versa, their 2nd single - post Martin Fry joining, and then It's Immaterial and the latter ( 1984 ) redux version of "Gigantic Raft".

Up In Scotland we have Josef K's final single for Postcard ( "Pictures" being the other side of "Chance Meeting" ) and Mike Hedges trying to reign in some Associates mayhem, after which we have some ( inner city ) Scrits, from their 3rd  ( during the "collective era" ) ep and lastly we scoot back up to Manchester for The Poors Of Reign's debut record.
