Stiff Little Fingers – Inflammable Material (4-CD + DVD)
Product Details
Belfast in 1979 wasn't an easy place to grow up, and Jake Burns made sure nobody could look away. Recorded on a shoestring with producer Gordon Ogilvie, *Inflammable Material* channeled the raw urgency of life under sectarian conflict into something that hit harder than almost anything coming out of London at the same time, landing SLF alongside the Clash as one of punk's most politically uncompromising acts.
Stiff Little Fingers iconic debut Inflammable Material was one of the most important records of it's era. Originally released in 1979 at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, the album depicted volatile life in Belfast at the time and was met with critical acclaim. The 4CD/1DVD set contains a remastered version of the original album, a disc of unreleased demos, an unreleased live performance from Troon in 1979 and a CD of the pertinent John Peel sessions from the BBC. The DVD contains unreleased material: The legendary Rough Trade promo video from 1979, an unreleased version of the band performing 'Alternative Ulster' from October 1978, plus an interview, originally included in the film Shellshock Rock (Hollywood Films) and a performance from The Old Grey Whistle Test from Friars in May 1979. Accompanying the music is rare memorabilia and photos and new liner notes from legendary journalist Stuart Baillie.
