UK Subs

'Flood of Lies' + 'Gross-Out USA' + demos 2xCD

The UK Subs fifth studio album, from 1983, remastered. On (coloured vinyl LP and) 2CD. Reissue date: October 4 2024

The fifth UK Subs studio album, from 1983, not available for many years.

The 2xCD version has seven extra tracks from singles; and a bonus CD Gross-Out USA – plus three never-before released demo tracks, one being an unheard song. It comes in an all-card 6-panel package. Albums ‘F’ and ‘G’ in the UK Subs A-Z series of albums.  

The album came at a crossroads for the UK Subs. Punk was no longer fashionable, and the early line-ups had split leaving Charlie Harper to form a new band. He enlisted early UK Subs bassist Steve Slack (who’d left before their first recordings, replaced by his brother), drummer Steve Jones and guitarist Captain Scarlet.

Navigating between the UK Subs punk ethos and wider styles of that era, with many songs co-written by Slack and Scarlet, Charlie’s lyrics reflected the current political paranoia of an Orwellian future, alongside hedonistic punk tales of life lived and characters met along the road. The album successfully led the band to embark on decades of world tours and continue the now-legendary A-Z series of albums.

Although the UK Subs have given up lengthy tours, since Charlie’s 80th birthday in May they still gig regularly at festivals and short excursions – such as the following UK Subs gigs in fall 2024:

POSTAGE
The amount we charge is what we expect to pay plus approx 15-40p for packing materials. 
There's NO such thing as 'free postage'!  Prices include 20% VAT on the postage as well as the goods, ebay then take commission of 8-10% - on the item, postage AND the VAT... and then ask you whether our postage charges are 'fair'.  We don't 'include' postage, otherwise we can't offer reduced postage for multiple items...
MULTIPLE ITEMS POSTAGE
For multiple items, there will be an automatic reduction in postage costs of 50% of further items postage.  BUT make sure you order them together, not individually: FIRST ADD THEM ALL TO YOUR CART.
