On December 11th, Matador Records unveils the exclusive Gang of Four vinyl collection: a stunning, limited edition box set that celebrates their groundbreaking early work. This collection features remastered editions of Entertainment! and Solid Gold, alongside an exclusive Singles LP and a double LP of the never-before-released Live at American Indian Center 1980.
Additionally, you’ll find a C90 cassette tape filled with 26 never-before-issued outtakes, rarities, and studio demos from Entertainment! and Solid Gold. To top it off, the package includes a magnificent 100-page, handbound book that chronicles the history and legacy of Gang of Four. This book is adorned with never-before-seen photos, contributions from surviving band members, rare posters, and more, marking the first official publication of their lyrics.
Formed in 1976 by bassist Dave Allen, drummer Hugo Burnham, guitarist Andy Gill, and singer Jon King, Gang of Four revolutionized punk rock music with their unique sound that blended tense rhythms and percussive guitars with thought-provoking lyrics. Even 45 years on, their influence resonates deeply within the music community and beyond.
