Marc Almond - Trials Of Eyeliner - Anthology 1979 - 2016: Box Set 10CDs (2016)

2016 ten CD set. Trials Of Eyeliner is the definitive overview of Marc Almond's career, and the fact that Almond himself has personally curated the collection, allied to the 189-strong track listing, suggests that this is no exaggeration. Neal X, Almond's longstanding writing partner/musical director (and former Sigue Sigue Sputnik guitarist), supervised mastering of the tracks recorded over five decades between 1979 and 2016. This anthology is divided into three themed sections. History fills the first four discs with 72 of Almond's favorite album tracks and B-sides, from Soft Cell's "Youth" to the song that gave this super deluxe set it's name: "Trials of Eyeliner". Singles gathers together all of Marc's official Soft Cell, Mambas and solo singles in (mainly) chronological order for the first time. The last three CDs consists of Gems - fan-only releases, one-off collaborations, soundtrack contributions etc. - and includes 18 tracks previously unreleased from Marc's own collection plus many more hard-to-find rarities and songs making their debut in the CD/digital format.
