ReR Megacorp lo produsse vent'anni fa, radunando in un unico box l'intera discografia dei This Heat aggiungendovi una selezione ad hoc di brani ripresi in concerto tra il 1980 e il 1981 e un ricco libretto fotografico e informativo, con interviste a posteriori e molti particolari inediti. Roba che scotta, oggi come allora: Out Of Cold Storage, disponibile presso Burning Shed.
This Heat: Charles Bullen, Charles Hayward and Gareth Williams emerged as a band in early 1976 on the leading edge of what became the New Wave. But they were always apart, more scary and more subtle. Known as the most left-field, and at the same time most hard-edged, band in the country, their concerts attracted experimental, Punk and New Wave audiences alike. In short, This Heat was a landmark band. It tore up the book and laid new rules for band composition and performance. The music was without precedent; the musicians uncompromising; the recordings hammeringly intense and the sound deep, radical, and rich. This was music stripped back to the bone but never simplified. And it hasn't aged.
