[tweetmeme]Cherry Red Records this week announced plans to release a five-disc box set titled Silhouettes & Statues: A Gothic Revolution 1978-1986 that will chart the evolution of the U.K.’s goth movement over 82 tracks that span the late ’70s through the mid ’80s.
The label’s official description of the set, to be released June 2:
“From the cold reality of post-punk, through positive punk and the Batcave scene and into the mid-1980s. Over 80 tracks, previously unseen photographs and 18,000+ words of sleevenotes, including contributions from artists.”
The collection features an impressive array of key acts of the era, from big names like Joy Division, Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, Love and Rockets, and The Mission to lesser-known groups such as Folk Devils, Lowlife, Inca Babies and Sad Lovers and Giants.
