Description
Synth pop trio Bronski Beat’s 1984 debut The Age of Consent is a
rarity in musical history – an album that both defined a generation
and challenged the status quo. 40 years later and The Age of
Consent remains as prescient and vital as ever as it did on its
original release; truly transgressive - defiant, queer, and laden
with hooks. To celebrate this important anniversary, London
Records revisit the album across a series of formats, uncovering
sonic archival gems, new mixes and more.
