Rough Trade is releasing 'Early', a compilation by British post-punk band Scritti Politti, for the first time in Europe. The album, originally released on vinyl in the US in 2005, brings together a series of recordings from the late 70s and early 80s. The compilation, featuring notes from Green Gartside, includes the band's first single, 'Skank Bloc Bologna', as well as key tracks like 'The "Sweetest Girl"', '27/8/78' and 'Lions After Slumber', offering a chance to rediscover Scritti Politti's early musical beginnings.
