My New Wave set!

VA - The Main Event (K-tel NE 1046 UK) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1979)      This much acclaimed and highly treasured album was released by K-tel in May 1979 in the UK only. Its focus was 100% on the  current punk and new wave scene at the time and originally contained 16 classic tracks.  I've expanded this 2022 remaster to include another 9 bonus new wave tracks taken from previous K-tel UK albums (all released before this one) to now create a 25 track album, with a new running time of 78:31 CD length.

VA - New Wave - 23 Original Hits - 23 Original Stars (K-tel TS 4070 SCAND) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1979)      Originally released in Scandinavia only in 1979, this K-tel album was a terrific slice of late 70s new wave. Its focus was 100% on the current punk and new wave scene at the time and originally ontained 16 classic tracks.  I've expanded this 2022 remaster to include another 7 bonus new wave tracks all taken from other 1979 K-tel releases to now create a 23 track album, with a new running time of 79:51 CD length.

VA - Street Level - 20 New Wave Hits (Ronco RTL 2048 UK) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1980)      Not released by K-tel, but an excellent overview of the UK new wave scene, released by Ronco in the UK only in 1980. The original album featured 20 classic new wave tracks spanning from 1977-1980. For this 2022 expanded edition, I have added another 3 bonus new wave hits taken from a previous UK Ronco compilation album released in 1979, now making a 23 track album with a new CD running time of 78:06.

Hope you enjoy! K
