Teenage Wildlife - 25 Years Of Ash (LP)

Sharing its title with the documentary which depicted Ash's rise from local school heroes to all-conquering band that topped the charts with their debut album 1977, Teenage Wildlife traces the band's recording career from exuberant debut Jack Names The Planets through to Buzzkill and Annabel from 2018's top twenty album Islands.

Teenage Wildlife also includes brand-new song Darkest Hour Of The Night alongside thirteen Top 40 singles amid an array of the band's recorded history; breakthrough single Girl From Mars, Top 5 smash Goldfinger, the breathtaking A Life Less Ordinary, Ivor Novello-winning Shining Light, and live anthems Burn Baby Burn and Orpheus.

The nineteen-track collection of rarities includes a version of The Buzzcocks' classic Everybody's Happy Nowadays (featuring Coldplay's Chris Martin), the eternal Teenage Kicks and the collection's infamous title track.

Perfectly encapsulating the highs, lows and debauchery of the band's initial breakthrough, the Teenage Wildlife inner sleeve features the brilliantly acerbic tour documentary script by the late Steven Wells.
