Album Summary
Some of the most powerful, energized, and memorable music of the U.K.'s potent post-punk era of the late '70s and early '80s came from the trailblazing band Gang of Four, and it all started with 1979's stellar Entertainment! Dave Allen, Hugo Burnham, Andy Gill, and Jon King fused punk, funk, explosive prog-rock, and literate and often incendiary lyrics into a signature, groundbreaking sound that would influence countless bands to come. The original album's brilliant 12 tracks are now remastered and bolstered with four tracks from the rare Yellow EP, plus four never-before-released-songs-making this watershed disc sound bigger and better than ever.
2008 digitally remastered edition of this album from the British Post-Punk/Funk band, originally released in 1982. Songs Of The Free, the band's third album and first to feature Sara Lee following original bassist Dave Allen's departure in 1981, was the closest they'd come to conventional Pop, thanks to Mike Howlett's crashing but crisp, shiny production and guitarist Andy Gill and singer Jon King's increasing ability to sugar their bitter messages with candy-coated melodies. There's even, in the Falklands-anticipating 'I Love A Man In Uniform', a near-hit single - only a ban by the BBC prevented this clubland favorite from charting higher. Elsewhere, on 'Call Me Up' and the Joseph Conrad-referencing 'We Live As We Dream, Alone', GOF continue to fuse feedback and Funk to startling effect. EMI.

Album Summary
2008 digitally remastered reissue of the British Post-Punk band's fourth album, their final studio release before splitting, originally released in 1983. Hard may seem ironically titled in retrospect, given its concessions to the softer Dance-Pop styles of the period, but there are some great songs amid the then-de rigueur soulful female backing vocals, clinical machine beats and slapback bass. Despite the production sheen, 'I Fled' moves with the urgency of old, 'A Man With A Good Car' is a squealing delight, while 'Silver Lining' thrills with its Dub spaces and Funk echoes. And if 'It Don't Matter' sounds like a period piece, it's worth remembering that GOF were the original socialist funksters, enabling the likes of Wham! and Heaven 17 to exist. EMI.

Album Summary
Gang Of Four were a British new wave band formed in 1980 by lead singer Jon King and guitarist Andy Gill. They had four albums hit the Billboard charts between 1981 & 1983. Two of those albums comprise this 2-on-1 CD. Hard is making its worldwide CD debut and Solid Gold has been out of print for years. Wounded Bird. 2003.
Limited two disc pressing of the Post-Punk band's 2005 album features a bonus 12-track disc of remixes by contempary artists and producers such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ladytron, The Rakes, The Dandy Warhols, producer du jour Paul Epworth, The Rakes, Amusment Parks on Fire, The Others, Faultline and more! Gang of Four are best described as being 'ahead of their time'. Usually it means nothing; mere hack hyperbole employed to describe the latest fledgling bunch of chancers. In Gang Of Four's case, it's a stone-cold empirical fact. So the time is right for a return of the great men themselves with a (sort of) new album. Return The Gift is a album that finds Go4 re-recording seminal tracks from 'Entertainment!', 'Solid Gold' and 'Songs Of The Free'. 25 tracks in all. V2.
