Scritti Politti - Songs To Remember (2026 Remaster)
Tax included.
Scritti Politti’s debut album Songs To Remember, captures the moment Green Gartside’s Camden DIY project evolved into one of the most distinctive voices of the early ’80s. Rooted in post-punk politics but reaching toward sophisticated pop, the record balances sharp intellect with melodic ambition.
Originally released in 1982 and hailed by NME as “witty and ingenious”, Songs To Remember set out a blueprint for Gartside’s singular approach: supple rhythms, honeyed vocals and lyrics that interrogate love, language and ideology in equal measure. Emerging from the Rough Trade orbit, the band quickly built a reputation for musical precision and forward-thinking songwriting.
This remastered edition has been personally overseen by Gartside, reaffirming the album’s status as a vital document of British pop at its most exploratory and articulate.
