About
More than a decade before blue-eyed soul and pop maestro Edwyn Collins had a hit with “A Girl Like You” (1994), the Glasgow musician formed the groundbreaking Orange Juice, a band daring to blend soul and disco with guitar-happy, slightly off-kilter pop structures. Collins’ voice was quirky, his lyrics literate and amusing, and the band was courageous in dancing their way into a post-punk world with songs that were more funk than punk. <i>The Glasgow School</i> collects their work on indie label Postcard Records (1981-82) into a tidy package. Tracks one through nine are the A and B sides of their brilliant singles; tracks ten through 21 are from the posthumous release <i>Ostrich Churchyard</i>, a 1992 CD containing the songs the band had hoped to release on a debut LP for Postcard. (Most of these songs appeared on their 1982 debut for major label Polydor Records, <i>You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever</i>.) Their play on the “Stars on 45” phenom of the ‘80s, “Blokes On 45,” has a certain charm, and a raw cover of the Ramones’ “I Don’t Care” reveals their barbed, punk hearts. For many fans of the band, this is all the Orange Juice you need.
