Synopsis

Album Description

The Anthology - The Phonogram Years is a 2CD set including all 11 of The Mission's Top 40 hits, with big hits such as 'Wasteland', 'Deliverance' and 'Butterfly On A Wheel' alongside rare mixes, long lost b-sides, BBC sessions and previously unreleased material. The package has personally been put together by Wayne Hussey and he has written extensive sleeve notes, with stories and anecdotes on each track included on this set. Almost 20 years to the day since Wayne Hussey announced that his band would be known as The Mission (rather than The Sisterhood), this anthology, curated by Wayne himself, celebrates one of the UK's most successful rock bands of the post punk years. Universal. 2006.

CD Reviews

A terrible injustice has been done...

Daniel W. Kelly | Long Island, NY United States | 03/28/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Amongst other things, my main reason for buying this compilation was to have a copy of "wasteland" on CD. What the amazon listing fails to note is that this compilation is filled with 7" edits of the original versions! So much Mission that hasn't been available on CD for so long, and they give us EDITS? What a shame. all of the following tracks are noted as the 7" versions:

crystal ocean

stay with me

wasteland

severina

beyond the pale

into the blue

never again

lika child again

plus, some of the included remixes are noted as edits:

tower of strength (bombay mix edit)

shades of green (utah saints 7" mix)"

Not perfect but ...

"Whatever about the review below..I bought this because OF the edit versions, which to a Mission fan like me are rare. Really wish the 7inch edit (or video version, only on 12inch) of Tower Of Strength was included. To my knowledge that 4 an half minute version has not made it to CD. Only version is the LP 8 min version on every comp I know of. Now that is a shame"
