For you people not in the know these are four releases covering the bands musical history right from the very start right through to 2022. There are of course new tracks too! The releases can be purchased as a package or as indivual items.

Forty – This comes in red vinyl and features past tracks re-recorded in 2022 as well as a new track ’40m years in 45 minutes’ which is my favourtite track on this record. Following each track is a pivotal news story from that time which makes this record all the more interesting! Every track on here is full on energetic punk rock which tells a story! Other top tracks include ‘I Am The One’ and ‘Join The Dots’ which are bang on and delivered in style. Miss this at your Peril! 9.5/10

Years – This release is a double CD which features a track from Paranoid Visions past releaseS up to ‘Diverse Reality’ in 2021. There’s 32 tracks in all. No fillers so what you’re fgoing to get for your money is PV at their best which is playing high energy fuelled punk rock. Tracks include ‘Nightmare Of Ugliness’, ‘Don’t Vote For Freedom’, ‘Look At Me’, ‘Autonomy’ and many more belters. This release is a must for youngsters and OAP’s like me as I struggle to keep track , ‘of everything PV do. Quality is bang on the button! 9/10

And – This is a three track single featuring both Steve Ignorant and John Robb. Personally I prefer the John Robb side ’40 Years’ but Mr Ignorants contribution with ‘Join The Dots’ isn’t far behind. I’m not a big singles fan but this is worth picking up just for the third track ‘Charity Begins At Home’. There’s excellent messages on this vinyl single so one worthy for your collection. 8/10

Still Not Tame – This is a Cd release of the first 3 demo tapes releases in 1983 and 1984. To be fair demos aren’t really my thing but to be fair they’re of reasonable quality. There’s 28 tracks on this release that capture those moments in time pretty well. Its good to see these being made available as some of these songs are hard to get these days. ‘Nightmare (one nation under a JCB)’, ‘From Dublin With Love’, ‘Vivisection’ and ‘Sign Of The Times’ were some of my favourite tracks on here! Yes one release that needs to be heard.

Note: Please note that the vinyl versions of this release can be purchased as individual CD’s or as a package.
