Featuring Soft Cell, Sisters Of Mercy, Gang Of Four, The Wedding Present, Scritti Politti, The Mission, and many more. Including The Mekons, CUD, Delta 5, The Pale Saints, Girls At Our Best, Age Of Chance, The Bridewell Taxis who all stamped their mark on the indie charts and were regulars\/favourites on John Peel's radio show. Like many UK Northern cities, Leeds enjoyed an explosion of music triggered by the big bang of punk rock in 1977. Indie labels sprung up to cater for a new wave of bands, who carved their own identity as the 80s dawned. 'Where Were You' is the first comprehensive anthology of Leeds' independent music from that period, through to the end of the 1980s. From punk to goth, indie pop to industrial dancefloor, out-and-out pop to underground psychedelia, the four hours' worth of recordings here are a celebration of the musical diversity emanating from the city's studios and clubs. Co-compiled by Benoit Farvak (Salvation) and Richard Rouska (Rouska Records), 'Where Were You' also boasts numerous obscurities which make their debut on CD - including many tracks taken from records now worth a small fortune on the collector's scene. Overall, this is a fitting tribute to the legacy from one of the UK's finest northern musical cities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mekons- Where Were You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRouge- Have You Seen Gene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerks -Cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRats and Delicious- No Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgony Column -(I Had It) All Worked Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Neat- Hormones in Action (In My Heart)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGang of Four- Damaged Goods (Emi Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScritti Politti- Messthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe City Limits- Morse-Code Messages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpelaires- Sympathy (Don't Be Taken in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Alwoodley Jets- Crash 'N Burn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGirls at Our Best -Getting Nowhere Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake Appeal- My Own Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelta 5 -You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife Edge- Favourite Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic for Pleasure -The Human Factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Squares- Buddy Holly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror Boys- at Tiffanys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance Chapter- Anonymity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Boys- Let It Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Cell- a Man Can Get Lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbrasive Wheels -Army Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcon A.D.- Fight for Peace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Expelled- Government Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Underdogs- East of Dachau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sisters of Mercy -Temple of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe March Violets- Religious As Hell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Lorry Yellow Lorry- Beating My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnabas- Barricades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Three Johns- Do the Square Thing (7\" Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVicious Pink -Cccan't You See\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTom Fazzini- 16 Vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Hogan -Executioners Song (Kickabye)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDÉJA Vu- Cut the Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers for Agatha- Presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXero Slingsby and the Works- Hurricane Damage in Leeds (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hollow Men- Late Flowering Lust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRose of Avalanche- Goddess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cassandra Complex -Moscow Idaho\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurfin Dave and the Absent Legends- Stateside Centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge of Chance- I Don't Know and I Don't Care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird Circle- Last Night Was the Best Night of My Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wedding Present- You Should Always Keep in Touch with Your Friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink Peg Slax- Boy from Leeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDustdevils- Seeds in the Spoil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mission -Wasteland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalvation- Thunderbird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rhythm Sisters- Saturday Sunday Lazy Leeds Afternoons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRitzun Ratzun Rotzer- Noodleman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sinister Cleaners- Longing for Next Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Prowlers- Life's a Mystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSon of Sam -Goodbye Junkie Jim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLen Liggins- Life in Leeds City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Shepherds -Wallpaper Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWmtid- Go Big Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMdma- Evidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrug Free America- Day-Glo Pussycat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Vaynes- Lick the Dirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBazooka Joe- Hiding from the Rentman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCud I've Had It- with Blondes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Snapdragons -The Things You Want\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroovin' with Lucy- Lenny's Lament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple Eternal- Trip#67 (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridewell Taxis- Wild Boar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost Dance -Celebrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePale Saints- Sight of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Frankincense ;
