About this item

Synth pop trio Bronski Beat’s 1984 debut ‘The Age of Consent’ is a rarity in musical history - an album that both defined a generation and challenged the status quo.

40 years later and ‘The Age of Consent’ remains as prescient and vital as ever as it did on its original release; truly transgressive - defiant, queer, and laden with hooks.

To celebrate this important anniversary, London Records revisit the album across a series of formats, uncovering sonic archival gems, new mixes and more.
