GIRL (Phil Collen) – Wasted Youth [HNE 6xCD Expanded Box Set] (2020)

This HNE / Cherry Red release of GIRL‘s “Wasted Youth [6xCD Expanded Box Set]” includes the classic ‘Wasted Youth’ remastered album plus 5 CDs of previously unreleased rarities and live recordings.
Featuring future Def Leppard guitarist Collen, GIRL was a band ahead of its time. They rocked hard enough to capitalize on the burgeoning New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement that was sweeping across the UK, but also capable to add melody and a poppy proto-New Wave twist to their sound.
The wealth of bonus material included on this anthology kicks off with the 20 track ‘Killing Time’ album on CD2, a collection of outtakes from their two studio albums and recordings of they never materialized 3rd studio album.
It’s also very interesting to see 1982’s live performances of Girl before split, and hear how good they were.
