Club Anthems 2001

 



Don't worry I haven't gone all dancey on you today.

Rather Club Anthems 2001 was a compilation album by Edinburgh band and John Peel favourites Ballboy. It is a collection of songs from the EPs Silver Suits for Astronauts (1999), I Hate Scotland (2000) and Girls are Better than Boys (2001)

A 21st Anniversary edition including songs from the 2002 EP All The Records on the Radio are Shite has just been released on the Lost Map label. Main man Gordon McIntyre says  it seemed like a good time to give it a revisit,on some nice vinyl,and gently float it out into the world again

If you like what you hear, and you would be foolish not to, 27 digital releases from the band  are available from Bandcamp for an extremely reasonable £28.80

If that wasn't enough Gordon McIntyre also released his debut solo album Even With the Support of Others  which is also on Lost Map and also available on Bandcamp

  1. Second day in a row that you've featured a tremendous album! Didn't know anout the re-release, but I'll give it a miss as I have the EP on vinyl from back in the day.

  2. 'Don't worry I haven't gone all dancey on you today'. I wouldn't be too concerned if this happened!
