THE MARCH VIOLETS
‘PLAY LOUD PLAY PURPLE’
2xLP
The Complete Singles 1982 – 85 & More. On limited purple vinyl gatefold LP. Includes indie chart-toppers Snake Dance, Deep and Walk into the Sun 7” versions (the first time the Deep and Walk into the Sun 7” are available since the 80’s) 22 tracks – all their ‘80’s indie repertoire, plus 3 highlights from this century From Leeds, label-mates of Sisters of Mercy, they issued six singles & a compilation THE MARCH VIOLETS came out of Leeds in the early 80’s, label-mates of Sisters of Mercy. Releasing six singles, they were a constant presence in the UK indie charts, hitting the top two with Snake Dance and Deep and no. 1 with Walk into The Sun. They never got around to recording an album – their only '80's long-players, Natural History in the UK and Electric Shades in the USA, were compilations. Eventually they signed to a major label and were groomed for a USA breakthrough, performing in the 1987 Some Kind of Wonderful movie. However they were asked to make too many compromises and split up.
Here is their entire 1980’s independent catalogue compiled in the original versions, together with three tracks from this century. It chronicles their development with lead singers Simon Denbigh, Rosie Garland and Cleo Murray, backed by bassist Lawrence Elliot and guitarist Tom Ashton. STOP PRESS: The March Violets are on tour in May, June & October 2023!

PLEASE READ THE SMALL PRINT BEFORE YOU BUY:
POSTAGE
The amount we charge is what we expect to pay plus approx 15-40p for packing materials.
There's
NO such thing as 'free postage'! Prices include 20% VAT on the postage
as well as the goods, ebay then take commission of 8-10% - on the item,
postage AND the VAT... and then ask you whether our postage charges are
'fair'. We don't 'include' postage, otherwise we can't offer reduced
postage for multiple items...
MULTIPLE ITEMS POSTAGE
For multiple
items, there will be an automatic reduction in postage costs of 50% of
further items postage. BUT make sure you order them together, not
individually: FIRST ADD THEM ALL TO YOUR CART.
If you want to wait
for an accurate calculation: MAKE SURE you're on the ebay.CO.UK site,
not an overseas one. Put ALL the items into your basket, then go to
'Contact Seller'. Click on the 'Request total from seller' button.
We'll then weigh and recalculate your combined items postage and send
you an invoice. This may take a day or two; the postage may or may not
calculate as less.
DELIVERY TIME excludes weekends and Bank Holidays, which may be different in the UK from elsewhere.
Packets
to overseas destinations (particularly Italy, Russia, South America)
often take longer than advertised due to local customs delays.
OVERSEAS
POST is by Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packet or parcel. Look for Ebay's
GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME in certain countries - it'll be cheaper. A
TRACKING number should get automatically marked against your order. If
your order is over £50 value and you'd like to add a Signed For or
Insured service. WE ADVISE A SIGNED-FOR SERVICE FOR ALL BRAZIL ORDERS.
Ebay will update your order once it is sent, with tracking details there.
PACKAGING:
For vinyl we use sturdy card cruciforms, not envelopes, and if not
shrinkwrapped we remove discs from sleeves, to avoid sleeve splits. For
CDs we use corrugated cardboard, not jiffy bags.
