      A keenly awaited re-press for this definitive collection of the highly acclaimed combo, Blue Orchids, and features their material that was originally released on the Rough Trade label. The Blue Orchids were formed by two members of The Fall and went on to produce more mainstream and melodic pop songs than that made by their previous employers. The band enjoyed widespread UK indie chart success with a high profile in the serious music press. The CD booklet includes liner notes written by band members Una Baines and Martin Bramah and ex Fall member and UK Radio 1 DJ, Marc Riley. Also included is a complete discography of the band incorporating some of the band's original sleeves which are now rare items.
