The Other Side brings together seminal tracks often less celebrated yet still immensely important in the story of popular music. This collection presents an alternative history of one of pop’s most polarizing decades, The 80s, featuring tracks from artists such as New Wave’s Aztec Camera and Spandau Ballet, Pop’s Howard Jones and Pet Shop Boys and Rockers Jesus And The Mary Chain and The Stranglers. Megastars such as Kate Bush and Duran Duran share the bill with massively influential acts The Smiths, Talking Heads, New Order and many more.
