McLusky- McLuskyism

http://www.toopure.com

mclusky are dead. Having somehow managed to last three albums together (they did lose a drummer en route mind) and perform countless gigs around the world before their almost inevitable implosion a year ago, we have some good news for those still mourning their death. mcluskyism, a lasting testament to one of the most under-rated UK bands of recent years, is being released as both a single CD with all the hits and also a very special limited edition and rather comprehensive 3CD retrospective of A-sides, B-sides and C-sides (rarities and live versions). Both releases are available from February 27. A suitable way to end to their story, yes, but it hurts that there won't be a tour to coincide.
