Originally released on the 20 April 1979, Y represents a stunning culmination of The Pop Group's crucial nonconformity. Preceded by a meteoric rise in recognition, Y firmly realised the latent potential of the group's early years. From playing Bristol youth clubs to early gigs supporting Pere Ubu and Patti Smith to gracing the front covers of NME and Melody Maker, The Pop Group's progression to the forefront had been swift. With the recording of Y, The Pop Group were to build on the promise of these earlier experiences and of their first recordings, delivering a debut album that transcends most, if not all, classification and one that exists in a league of its own.

Recorded in 1978, the Y sessions were conducted at Ridge Farm in Dorking, Surrey, an experience the band's bassist Simon Underwood now characterises as "an intense and electrifying journey of creative exploration and experimentation".

The band's landmark debut single, 'She Is Beyond Good & Evil', will be reissued alongside Y as a bonus 12".
