This 4-CD box set brings together both albums as well as all the B-Sides, mixes, and some previously unreleased material from the Virgin vaults all housed in a sturdy box with extensive sleeve notes by Classic Pop's John Earls. The Pale Fountains were an English band formed in Liverpool in 1980, and composed of Mick Head, Chris McCaffery, Thomas Whelan, Andy Diagram and Ken Moss. Inspired by 1960s music such as Love, Burt Bacharach and The Beatles, the group released their debut single '(There's Always) Something on My Mind' in October 1982. Although the Pale Fountains failed to make much commercial headway, the band would earn critical praise for the two albums released on Virgin, 'Pacific Street' (1984) and '... From Across the Kitchen Table' (1985).
