Best of Dirty Disco

2008 collection, the first-ever 'best of' compilation from cult Factory Records group Section 25. Formed in Blackpool (UK) by brothers Larry and Vin Cassidy in 1978, the band were initially mentored by Joy Division, and went on to record four albums with Factory Records between 1980 and 1986. The first of these, Always Now, combined harsh Post-Punk with spacey Psychedelia, and was produced by Martin 'Zero' Hannett. Their third, from the Hip, produced in 1984 by Bernard Sumner of New Order, explored Techno and Electronica, and spawned the oft-sampled club hit 'Looking from a Hilltop'. Dirty Disco celebrates 30 years of Section 25, and features eight key album tracks as well as the singles 'Knew Noise', 'Dirty Disco', 'Haunted', 'Beating Heart', 'Looking from a Hilltop', 'Crazy Wisdom' and 'Bad News Week'. The booklet features archive images and a detailed band chronology. LTM.
