THE CLIQUE - "Preservation Society" BOX SET to be released by Detour on Monday 25th March 2024

 

"Detour Records"

Come and CELEBRATE our 100th LP release with us and what a release it is. This is a PURE CLASSIC from a band that were huge and were our BIGGEST seller on the label and should have gone on to bigger things but sadly didn't fulfill their dreams. They came so close and were courted by Bjorks record label 'One Little Indian' but it wasn't to be..

I can't believe that we have finally got this release out, many many years in the planning and hurdles to jump but we did it!

This is one of "Detour Records" proudest moments....Not only was the Clique the biggest sellers on the 'Detour Records', BUT this is our 100th LP release on the label and what a release to celebrate this milestone and we have pushed the (Ropey old) boat out and made something very special as each box set comes with a set of five different postcards, poster and comes housed in a very stylish hand numbered box.

35 years after London modsters The Clique burst onto the music scene and 25 years after the final Clique EP was released, Detour Records and the band are proud to present a vinyl box set anthology of their music.

The Clique were prolific throughout the late 80s and 90s, constantly gigging in London, up and down the UK and over in Europe.

It wasn’t just their music that made them stand out from their contemporaries but also their impeccable and stylish dress sense.

This box set collection includes many alternate recordings to previous releases and some unreleased tracks. Through the 3 albums you can track the musical progression of one of the 90s mod scene’s most distinctive bands; from their early obscure beat covers through to their own self written tracks, some of which have since been covered and released by other bands.

DETOUR RECORDS Would like to thank all the band members who played their part in this very special band that is closed to our heart and all the photographers who allowed us permission to use their photos.

Lastly I would like to thank Dom who spent many hours doing all the artwork and to his wife Claire who was the driving force and went above and beyond in keeping this release on track and drawing it all together.

BEGGAR - Nu Form Love EP (PICTURE DISC) 7" on Detour Records

 


"DETOUR RECORDS"

Brings you their next release on the popular Picture Disc Series.

Released: FRIDAY 23rd FEBRUARY

There are many bands from the mod revival that never released a 45 single. Beggar being one of them, until now!

The band hailing from Mountain Ash in South Wales should’ve been huge with the sound they were producing, honest raw fast rhythm and blues with a hint of punk! Just perfect to grace the 79 sound, this with the soulful vocals from lead singer Bryn Gregory compliments the offering!

It would have been all too easy to put out a single of the two tracks which featured on the acclaimed live at the Bridge House LP but Beggar offer much more than that.

An earlier album also released by 'Detour' show cased the band with tracks that would blow you away, not only with the music but the lyrical content made the band stand out as accomplished artists within our genre proving that they could compete with the best the revival had to offer.

For those of you who never saw them play live, this release will make you kick yourself for not making the effort!

I love Beggar and I hope you like the four tracks I’ve chosen for this brilliant release. Nu form love / Have another drink / Modern man / Mindless doll.

I know which are my favourites .. .. What’s yours?

Enjoy

Alan May / The Glory Boy Mod Radio Show (6TR)
