Harmony In My Head is another of Cherry Red's celebrations of a bygone era - this time, the boom in Power Pop and New Wave which followed the Punk explosion in 1977. New Wave was a term coined in 1977 to describe a clutch of new artists whose music shared much of the energy of punk, but boasted a more sophisticated level of musicianship and a heavier reliance on traditional pop melodies. The British scene's reiteration of the appeal of a more traditional pop approach saw several attempts to provide an alternative to the unsatisfactory new wave epithet. Harmony In My Head includes many of the new wave\/power pop scene's biggest hitters alongside the more melodic Punk bands. Name acts include Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Buzzcocks, Eddie \u0026amp; The Hot Rods, Nick Lowe, The Jags and Wreckless Eric, who are joined by other less successful but nevertheless key players (The Records, The Freshies, The Flys etc) as well as a host of rare 45s on tiny labels, many of which have never been on CD before. The deluxe clamshell package includes a weighty booklet full of illustrations, with a 12,000-word sleeve-note incorporating band-by-band biographies by compiler David Wells\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Harmony in My Head - the Buzzcocks\u003cbr\u003e2 You Belong to Me - Elvis Costello \u0026amp; the Attractions\u003cbr\u003e3 Time Goes By So Slow - the Distractions\u003cbr\u003e4 Take Me I'm Yours - Squeeze\u003cbr\u003e5 Trouble with Love - Any Trouble\u003cbr\u003e6 Rich Kids - Rich Kids\u003cbr\u003e7 Teenarama - the Records\u003cbr\u003e8 Born a Woman - Nick Lowe\u003cbr\u003e9 Suffice to Say - Yachts\u003cbr\u003e10 First Time - the Boys\u003cbr\u003e11 He's Frank (Slight Return) - the Monochrome Set\u003cbr\u003e12 Sarah Smiles - Bram Tchaikovsky\u003cbr\u003e13 You Know What I'm Thinking Girl - the Pleasers\u003cbr\u003e14 Does Stephanie Know - Squire\u003cbr\u003e15 Howard Hughes - the Tights\u003cbr\u003e16 She's Gonna Break Your Heart - Salford Jets\u003cbr\u003e17 Teenage Crush - the Trend\u003cbr\u003e18 Strike Talks - the Donkeys\u003cbr\u003e19 Couldn't Believe a Word - the 45's\u003cbr\u003e20 This Is the Way...
