Colossal Youth 40th Anniversary Edition includes the titular album as well as songs from Salad Days, Is The War Over compilation LP, the Final Day single and their Testcard EP as well a live DVD of their last ever US show at Hurrah in New York in 1980.

Colossal Youth is the legendary debut album by Young Marble Giants; an album that has influenced the likes of Nirvana and Belle and Sebastian with its paradoxical combination of abstract, sparse electronica and warm, intimate introspection.
