Thompson Twins – Set 2LP 101

Released 16th April 2016

Remastered and pressed on two 180g discs this Special Edition has initial pressings on RED vinyl. With a newly designed inner bags this is the third of our Thompson Twins re-issues and a special Record Store Day exclusive.

The first disc is the full Set album in its entirety and the second disc features 4 remixes including ‘In The Name Of Love’ which was a huge dance hit in the USA, ‘Runaway’ and ‘Bouncing’, plus the Big Synth Mix of ‘In The Name Of Love’. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, which was a real coup for the band, it signalled a new introduction for the band, both in terms of the creative process of writing material but also how it was recorded.

As Tom himself explains At the onset of this recording project we were still essentially an underground experimental rock band immersed in (but not fully satisfied by) post-punk and student politics. We were about to attempt the often notoriously difficult second album but had gathered a forward momentum from our live shows which featured an expanded line-up and lots of neo-tribal percussive music (click image for more info & tracklisting).
