Definitive, career-spanning set from influential Geordie post-punk band who still play shows to this day. Formed by fusing the energy of punk with the artistic values of musical theatre, Punishment of Luxury were born in Gateshead, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne at the end of 1976. Their acclaimed debut single, 'Puppet Life', was issued on leading indie label Small Wonder in 1978, prompting a deal with United Artists for debut album The Laughing Academy (1979) and several singles. After being dropped by UA, Punishment of Luxury (sometimes known as Punilux) continued to tour, selling copies of their aborted second album Revolution By Numbers (sold as Gigantic Days in 1981 by mail-order). In due course, the band signed to independent label Red Rhino, recording a mini-album 7 and spin-off single 'Hold Me (Never Mould Me)' in 1983. Thereafter, singer\/guitarist Neville Atkinson (as Nevilluxury) issued a solo album for Red Rhino entitled Feels Like Dancing Wartime (1984). The band occasionally reconvened to make records (namely, 1989's Hi Alien and 2011's mini-LP 5) and have played intermittent live shows. Coordinated with help from Neville Atkinson, Puppet Life offers the complete recorded output of Punilux down the years. All their tracks for Small Wonder, United Artists and Red Rhino are joined by a previously unissued John Peel session from 1978, a whole disc's worth of hitherto unheard live material - including excerpts from a planned live album at the Nashville, a previously unissued Red Rhino track slated as a single and more. Neville has also contributed unique sleeve-notes and visuals for the booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuppet Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Demon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Puppet Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funk Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Message\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All White Jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Obsession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Radar Bug\/Metropolis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e British Baboon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babalon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excess Bleeding Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Laughing Academy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Engine of Excess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jellyfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Secrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brain Bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Don't Jump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Plants and Insects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fascicult Barbaraclique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Empire of Idiots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Admittance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blood Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Death and Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Auschwitz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Decay (Ed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Destiny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Damaging Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Don't You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Snowqueen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Eat Too Much\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Revolution By Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Wife's in Love with a Polar Bear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Double Agent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let's Get Married\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're So Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babalon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funk Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funghi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Bird and the Elephant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fairiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gasman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Revelations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Golden Corsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tria-Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hold Me (Never Mould Me)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Doubting Thomas (Previously Unissued Single)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Feels Like Dancing Wartime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Motivator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Welcome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Prisoner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock Out the Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alien Contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Party Goblins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Killer Rift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bullshitelero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do the Alien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wise Guy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mamonanimal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fracture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Rang Yvonne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mr Dinosaur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All White Jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Obsession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Radar Bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e British Baboon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Laughing Academy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babalon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Puppet Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excess Bleeding Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Wife's in Love with a Polar Bear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Engine of Excess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Obsession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funk Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Don't Jump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brain Bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let's Get Married\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're So Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Puppet Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Demon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Radar Bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Metropolis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jellyfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brain Bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521928663314,"sku":"5013929108004","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/punishment-of-luxury-puppet-life-complete-recordings-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
