10CD + DVD – UK Import

The first complete retrospective of Nik Kershaws early career and has been done in conjunction with Nik who has overseen the project.

A 10CD box set featuring all of the MCA albums as well as four discs of B-Sides, Remixes and Extended Mixes, some of which have never appeared on CD before as well as a live show from Hammersmith released for the first time in its entirety.

The DVD features promo videos and the Hammersmith show from 1984 pulled together for the first time.

The extensive booklet contains new notes by Paul Sinclair who interviewed Nik about the history and his recollections behind these albums and his life in the 80s.

Newly mastered audio overseen by Nik Kershaw with Tony Dixon.

Nik Kershaw exploded onto the UK pop scene in 1984 as a solo artist. A string of global hit singles including Wouldnt it Be Good, The Riddle and his biggest hit, I Wont Let the Sun Go Down on Me helped to propel him to 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart through 1984 and 1985.

Nik appeared at the Live Aid show in 1985 and has also penned hits for other artists, including a UK No. 1 single in 1991 for Chesney Hawkes, The One and Only.
