More Info:

Vinyl LP pressing. Includes digital download. First released in 2001, this album is fully remastered, remade and presented once more in it's entirety and features A Certain Ratio, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The Human League, The Pop Group, Gang of Four, The Slits, 23 Skidoo and This Heat. // As Muzik magazine noted on it's initial release, 'In The Beginning' is a choice selection from the fertile post-punk period when bands thought nothing of combining politics and philosophy with imported dance rhythms and edgy industrial angst. The bands featured come (mostly) from the then bleak post-industrial North of England - Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds as well as Bristol and London, and yet all show a fascination with black American rhythms and an experimentation in sound that was completely unique at the time. The title of the album comes from The Slits track of the same name. This double vinyl edition with download code comes complete with two bespoke inner bags containing extensive sleevenotes and original photography.
