More Info
SENSITIVE. The first ever anthology to cover the indiepop scene of the 1980s.
The anthology takes its name from the single released by The Field Mice, and marks the first time that The Field Mice have allowed one of their songs to be used on a compilation. Also features on Sensitive is Dying Day from Orange Juice’s hugely influential debut album You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever – marking the only time that Edwyn Collins and his wife and manager Grace Maxwell have given permission for an Orange Juice song to be featured on an anthology.
Many of the records featured on Sensitive have become highly sought-after collectors’ items since their original release.
The anthology also features 10,000 words of extensive track-by-track notes and an essay by Pete Paphides, who was and remains an avid proponent of the indiepop scene that this collection chronicles.
All the songs on Sensitive have been newly mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell
