Item Information Artists Name: VARIOUS ARTISTS Title: ZERO - A MARTIN HANNETT STORY 1977-1991 Format: CD Label: BIG BEAT City Hall Catalog Number:  270 UPC Product Code: 029667427029 List Price: 22.98 Musical Category:  ROCK/ROCKABILLY/PUNK Release Date:  4/7/2006 Additional Musical Category Notes:   This is an all-encompassing 21 track CD tribute to the late Martin Hannett - one of the highest-profile U.K. record producers of the Punk and post-Punk era. Apart from The Smiths, Hannett produced almost every one of the most important Manchester bands - from the Buzzcocks and Magazine, via Joy Division and New Order through to the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays - and almost all of those that he produced are represented here. The repertoire ranges from big U.K. chart hits ('Pretty In Pink,' 'Jilted John,' 'Electricity') to hard-to-find cuts by non-Manchester bands such as U2 and the Only Ones, plus everything from Punk to New Romantic to Indie Dance. Notes by expert James Nice, plus lots of memorabilia.
