  Derry’s finest debuted in 1978 with Teenage Kicks, 2 minutes 23 seconds of immaculate guitar noise that has been covered (but never bettered) by everyone from Supergrass to K T Tunstall, Green Day to Busted. John Peel’s `favourite record of all time’ was followed by a dozen perfect pop singles including Jimmy Jimmy, Here Comes The Summer, My Perfect Cousin and Wednesday Week. Four cracking albums showed a band prepared to take risks as punk morphed into new wave and on into electro pop and new romanticism. This Anthology showcases the very best of the Undertones and includes 27 previously unreleased demos, alternate takes, session and live tracks.
