Greatest Hit

Following on from the success of our two Blue Orchids CDs earlier this year (The Sleeper, From Severe to Serene), LTM are pleased to announce a new studio album plus the first CD release of their classic album The Greatest Hit, which topped the indie charts in the UK on release in 1981. Formed by creative lynchpin Martin Bramah and Una Baines after the pair left The Fall in 1979, the Blue Orchids released a string of classic singles on the Rough Trade label, including Disney Boys, Work and the Agents of Change ep, as well as the classic album The Greatest Hit in 1981. The following year the group disbanded, but later returned with several classy singles and a second album, The Sleeper. The LTM edition includes all ten album tracks, together with nine bonus tracks taken from contemporary singles and eps. These include Work, Disney Boys, The Flood and the Long Night Out. Album highlights include Sun Connection, Dumb Magician, Low Profile, Bad Education and A Year With No Head. Also included is an ultra rare version of All Tomorrow's Parties, performed by Nico and produced by the legendary Martin Hannett.
