Cherry Red

Bow Wow Wow is a British band formed in 1980 by Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of the Sex Pistols. Originally members of Adam And The Ants, they were advised by McLaren to recruit a talented 14-year-old singer named Annabella Lwin. Known for their unique style featuring Burundi-style drumming and Lwin's diverse vocals, ranging from screaming to ritual chants, Bow Wow Wow achieved early success in the UK after signing with RCA.

In the US, they gained recognition with their cover of the classic 1965 single "I Want Candy" by The Strangeloves. However, controversy surrounded their first US LP release in 1982 due to its controversial album cover depicting a nude Lwin alongside clothed band members. In 1984, the band split up, with Lwin pursuing a solo career as "Annabella" while the remaining members formed "Chiefs Of Relief".

During the mid-1990s, Bow Wow Wow reunited in some capacity. Their distinctive sound continues to influence and captivate audiences today. If you enjoy artists such as Adam Ant or Altered Images, you'll definitely appreciate Bow Wow Wow's energetic and eclectic music.

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

Box Sets

In the wake of the demise of The Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren formed Bow Wow Wow in 1980 from former members of Adam And The Ants and a 14-year-old Myint Myint Aye (Burmese for “High High Cool”), who was spotted singing while working a Saturday job at her local dry cleaners, and soon renamed Annabella Lwin. Bow Wow Wow found early success with their Burundi-style drumming, pop melodies, surf instrumentals and Annabella Lwin’s screams, chants and girlish squeals. But their notoriety soared due to the controversy surrounding Lwin’s age, and the fact that she was featured naked on the band’s first LP in 1981. Soon to be touring the States and opening for bands of the likes of the Pretenders and the Police, Bow Wow Wow released a plethora of singles, many of which came in numerous formats including cassettes, 7 inches, 12 inches and flexi-discs, with many containing alternative versions, b-sides, and remixes – all of which are included here on Your Box Set Pet: The Complete Recordings 1981-1984.

Contains the albums See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy! (1981), When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going (1983), the EP Your Cassette Pet (1980), plus all of the band’s singles, b-sides, remixes and rarities. Includes the hit singles Go Wild In The Country, I Want Candy, Do You Wanna Hold Me, C-30 C-60 C-90 Go! and See Jungle! (Jungle Boy). All material has been fully remastered especially for this release. Comes in a special clam shell style box set containing CD wallet replicas of the band’s albums, faithfully reproducing their original artwork.
