A 16 track album that features the band's Rough Trade singles, together with John Peel and Richard Skinner radio sessions. Formed in 1979, Delta 5 emerged from the same Leeds university scene that produced the likes of Gang of Four and the Mekons. Championed by John Peel, and enjoying success on both sides of the Atlantic, Delta 5's unique two-bass rhythm section, angular guitars and conversational female vocals set them apart from their peers.

The original members of Delta 5, Julz Sale (vocals/guitar), Ros Allen (bass) and Bethan Peters (bass), formed the band "on a lark", but soon became a part of the thriving Leeds post-punk scene, and later added Kelvin Knight on drums and Alan Riggs on guitar -  Combining feminist politics with a two-bass funk-punk sound (much in the style of another, more famous Leeds band, Gang of Four), they released in 1979 their debut single, "Mind Your Own Business".&nbsp;
