The Best of Altered Images (CD)

Altered Images were a 1980s Scottish New Wave / post-punk band. championed by legendary DJ John Peel

"Dead Pop Stars" was particularly controversial at the time, sung at the viewpoint of a "has-been" icon with much irony, perhaps badly timed in its release shortly after John Lennon's death, even though it was recorded earlier. It was absent from their studio album releases.

Happy Birthday (With additional guitarist Jim McKinven,) seeing them continue their link with Siouxsie and the Banshees, as the band's bassist Steve Severin produced several tracks on it besides the title track, which became their third single and biggest hit. "Happy Birthday" saw them be catapulted to fame with Grogan standing centre, quirky voice and bubbly character sending the band to number 2 in the singles chart in October of that year, establishing the band as one of the biggest New Wave acts around. This was confirmed when they were voted "Best New Group" at the NME awards. In 1983, "Happy Birthday" was brought to more widespread American audiences when included in the soundtrack to the John Hughes movie Sixteen Candles.

"Don't Talk To Me About Love", one of their most well-known songs. It peaked at #7 in the UK, one of their highest positions, and is consistently included on many 1980s retrospective collections in the UK.
