The Wildhearts: Strike Back auf 2 CDs

The Wildhearts Must be Destroyed and Strike Back are the two albums that The Wildhearts recorded for the now defunct Gut label. Must Be Destroyed title makes reference to 1969 horror film Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed.

The album was the first new studio release since the Wildhearts broke up in 1997 and reformed in 2001. Rumours indicated that the album would feature the same line-up as the 1993 album Earth Vs The Wildhearts, and that line-up did indeed reform in 2001.

Three singles were released in the UK with some chart success: Vanilla Radio , So Into You and Top of the World . The B-sides from various versions of these singles later appeared on the compilations Riff After Riff After Motherfucking Riff and Coupled With. Strike Back was recorded on the subsequent tour and was released as a double vinyl album as well.

This 2CD collection contains booklet notes by Classic Prog’s Jerry Ewing and extensive artwork with photos and memorabilia from the era; all approved by Ginger himself.
