UK Decay Reissue

UK Decay, For Madmen Only (Rough Trade, 2009)

Rough Trade reissues a compilation CD of UK Decay. A progenitor of gothic rock, UK Decay were among the first to splinter from punk in the late 1970s and incorporate the moody atmospherics that eventually came to define gothic crossover. On CD for the first time ever, the 19 tracks include the band's one and only album For Madman Only, the Rising From the Dead 12", plus tracks from The Black 45 7" and For My Country 7".
