Something else from teh graun: a stream of selected songs from the six-disc collection Coals to Newcastle, a retrospective set covering the career of Glasgow post-punk pioneers Orange Juice.
These are as exciting as you’d expect them to be: Edwin Collins and co.’s sound remains as vibrant, fresh and idiosyncratic as it ever did.
The graun has 18 tracks, but you can listen to 5 of them right here:
The six CD and 1 DVD set comes out on the 22nd in the US and was released in the UK today, and as well as the group’s complete discography and other studio recordings there’s also a collection of their BBC sessions, including 16 previously unreleased tracks with another 23 tracks previously unavailable on earlier re-issues.
