Songs to Remember sits at the exact hinge point between the band's lo-fi agitprop origins and the sleek, soul-influenced sound Gartside would later pursue, making it essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how British indie music grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe debut album of one of Britain's most acclaimed and influential bands, Songs to Remember takes us back to the beginnings of Scritti Politti. Having emerged out of the DIY Camden bedsit scene of the late 70s, yet with a musical vision to match the likes of Miles Davis (who they later worked with), the Green Gartside-led group established themselves as one of the early 80s' true innovators as Songs To Remember channeled both the fiery politics of the era with a burgeoning pop sensibility. Described as \"witty and ingenious\" by NME on it's release in 1982, Songs to Remember has been fully remastered for this long overdue vinyl repressing, which has been personally overseen by Gartside himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Asylums In Jerusalem (3:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. A Slow Soul (3:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Jacques Derrida (5:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Lions After Slumber (6:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Faithless (4:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Sex (4:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Rock-A-Boy Blue (5:52)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Gettin' Havin' \u0026amp; Holdin' (5:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. The Sweetest Girl (6:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191402056525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rough Trade Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.10.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48802378940571,"sku":"109735742","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-scritti-politti-songs-to-remember-cd-relix.jpg?v=1782099320","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/scritti-politti-songs-to-remember-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
