Buzzcocks and Mute will release the original Buzzcocks' albums, Another Music in a Different Kitchen, Love Bites, and A Different Kind of Tension from 1978 and 1979 February 9, 2010. The reissues will also feature previously unreleased tracks, John Peel sessions, associated singles, demos, backing tracks, and live versions. Buzzcocks' first album, Another Music in a Different Kitchen - a major punk landmark and a great record to boot - was released almost exactly thirty years ago. It's full of fire, wit, speed, philosophical lyrics and gender explorations, as well the sly psychedelia that always made Buzzcocks stand out from the pack. This disc contains the full Another Music in a Different Kitchen album with the relevant John Peel session and another disc of various out-takes and the full live show recorded at the Electric Circus in October 1977: the venue's last night and the moment when Buzzcocks began to go national. Love Bites is the second disc covering the associated singles: "Love You More" and "Promises", and two Peel sessions as well as thirteen demos from summer 1978. As an added bonus, there is the full concert from the Lesser Free Trade Hall in June 1978, an exercise in instant nostalgia filmed by Granada TV under the guidance of Tony Wilson. Love Bites came at a troubled period for the group and the culture that had formed them. After the demise of the Rotten Sex Pistols in January 1978, Punk was seen as over. Buzzcocks were in danger of becoming yesterday's future. But 1978 was an extraordinary year for the group. They released two albums, five singles � with two in the UK top twenty � and toured relentlessly. This new edition of A Different Kind of Tension pulls together all the associated singles � five of them, including Parts 1�3 recorded with Martin Hannett and later collected on an American mini-album � as well as the last track the group recorded in their first incarnation: "I Look Alone". As an added bonus, there is a whole disc of demos from the period, including several hard to find songs like "The Drive System", "Jesus Made Me Feel Guilty", and Paddy Garvey's heart-rending "Run Away From Home". The set is rounded off with four BBC recordings from the period, including an early outing for "Everybody's Happy Nowadays". This key song set the tone for this much-misunderstood period in Buzzcocks' history.
