Out This Week / 10 February 2014

Various Artists / The Art of the 12″, Volume Three 

One of four ZTT releases this week, The Art of the 12″, Volume Three is probably the pick of the bunch with a fine selection of rare, obscure and new-to-CD remixes. The usual suspects (Frankie, Propaganda, Art of Noise) are joined by Sigue Sigue Sputnik, ABC, Nasty Rox Inc, and The Belle Stars, amongst others. 

Neil Finn / Dizzy Heights

The Crowded House frontman’s first solo album from 13 years is produced by Dave Fridmann with Neil Finn opting for a more expansive and experimental sound.

Various Artists  / The Organisation of Pop

The first of two CDs features 19 hit singles from 1983 to the present day, while disc two is slightly more ‘off-piste’ with a quirky selection. Paul Morley writes the notes.
