Formed in 1982 from the ashes of Factory Records teen hopefuls Tunnelvision, Vee VV built up a strong local following and established themselves as a hard hitting live outfit. This new release collects some of the band's best bits through its various incarnations plus some unreleased and live tracks as a Brucey bonus!

"Love Canal" and "Keep Beat" were first recorded in 1982. "Fish on Friday" was recorded as part of a Piccadilly Radio session in 1987 and "Prick up Your Ears" was recorded in 1988 and produced by Mark Radcliffe. There are six previously unreleased tracks and three live tracks. The remaining tracks have been released previously but on a range of different labels and formats.

The band reformed in June '18 and have played live in Manchester, Blackpool and Liverpool. They are currently writing new material which will be aired live in May /June.

Jangly, wide screen guitar licks accompany a typically anthemic  vocal delivery while the songwriting and arrangements are strong and concise. A brilliantly excavated hidden gem of the Northwest underground! Check it out!
