Remastered at Abbey Road, with original embossed artwork.
The debut album of one of Britain's most acclaimed and influential bands, Songs to Remember takes us back to the beginnings of Scritti Politti. Having emerged out of the DIY Camden bedsit scene of the late 70s, yet with a musical vision to match the likes of Miles Davis (who they later worked with), the Green Gartside-led group established themselves as one of the early 80s' true innovators as Songs To Remember channelled both the fiery politics of the era with a burgeoning pop sensibility. Described as “witty and ingenious” by NME on its release in 1982, Songs to Remember has been fully remastered for this long overdue vinyl repressing, which has been personally overseen by Gartside himself.
"Mark E Smith a Rough Trade artist at the time once said to me,”Scritti have the best rhythm section in rock music.” He didn’t mention Green Gartside, so I don’t know what he thought of him. I do know that at Rough Trade we were all in thrall to Green’s honeyed voice and his brilliant lyric writing. These were heady days when the amount of sheer talent walking into the Rough Trade universe was simply overwhelming. None more so than Green who epitomised the intelligent assault on the citadel of pop music perfection. I remember being very proud of “Songs To Remember “ during a time when it was still a fairly new experience for us to be releasing full albums into the world." - Geoff Travis
