Out on October 15th on Rustblade is the re-release of "7 Years", the compilation that covers up songs from the first seven years of No More's discography. The first release of this overview was in 1990 and in Germany only so this might be your chance to actually get to know the band a bit better. Since most of the band's pre-CD era is impossible to find, "7 Years" is a perfect way to get into No More's work from the 80s. The focus lies on the last line-up (from 1984-1986) and contains, amongst others, songs from various 12" maxi-singles, the mini-LP "Laughter In The Wings" and their final album "Hysteria". You can order the 1 track compilation on iTunes right now.
The band called it a day during the recordings of "Hysteria". Tina Sanudakura and Andy Schwarz recorded the song "7 Years" as a summary of these No More years. Expect also the original version of the classic "Suicide Commando" which is still part of many DJ-sets. The version on this set is actually a live version recorded during the band's farewell concert at the Old Daddy concert hall in Oberhausen, Germany. At the end of 2008 No More (condensed in the duo Tina Sanudakura and Andy Schwarz) got back on stage 22 years after the band split up in 1986. The band played allover Europe and released their new album "Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars" in 2010.
A limited boxed version of the compilation contains a bonus CD with 4 extra studio tracks, three live songs including a cover of "Venus In Furs" (Velvet Underground) and two remixes. Added to that you get a pin, 2 postcards and... a flower.
