Cherry Red

Buzzcocks is a legendary punk rock band formed in February 1976 by Pete Shelley (real name Peter McNeish) and Howard Devoto (real name Howard Trafford). They quickly gained attention with their energetic performances, but it wasn't until July 1976 that they solidified their lineup. With Pete Shelley on guitar, Howard Devoto on vocals, Steve Diggle on bass, and John Maher on drums, Buzzcocks began making waves in the punk scene.

Over the years, Buzzcocks went through several lineup changes and hiatuses. Despite not releasing any studio recordings during certain periods, they continued to tour and captivate audiences with their raw sound and powerful lyrics. In 1992, they performed a series of gigs in Europe without any recorded material.

Pete Shelley's untimely death in December 2018 marked the end of an era for Buzzcocks. Throughout their career spanning over four decades, Buzzcocks left an indelible mark on the punk rock genre and influenced countless musicians. Their music continues to resonate with fans worldwide as a testament to their enduring legacy.

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.

6CD set featuring five live sets and 32 Tracks from the BBC. 137 Tracks total with 83 previously unreleased including the support set to the Sex Pistols in Finsbury Park. Buzzcocks require no introduction. Pivotal to the punk and DIY movements, the group, led by frontman Pete Shelley and co-conspirator Steve Diggle, brought an essential pop sensibility and sartorial style to the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Having disbanded in 1981, the band regrouped in 1989 and began to tour the world and record new music, becoming legends in their own lifetime in the process. Late For The Train explores the group’s live career, and their ongoing relationship with the BBC, for whom they recorded multiple excellent sessions and live performances over the years. Crammed with previously unreleased recordings, long-forgotten shows and brilliant renditions of seminal tracks from their growing back catalogue, this companion piece to this year’s critically acclaimed Sell You Everything studio box set is produced in association with Buzzcocks, and includes notes from Steve Diggle alongside fan reminiscences, live photographs and recording information.
