The Age Of Consent Bronski Beat 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe edition
The Age Of Consent
Bronski Beat
Synth pop trio Bronski Beat’s 1984 debut The Age of Consent is a rarity in musical history – an album that both defined a generation and challenged the status quo. 40 years later and The Age of Consent remains as prescient and vital as ever as it did on its original release; truly transgressive - defiant, queer, and laden with hooks. To celebrate this important anniversary, London Records revisit the album across a series of formats, uncovering sonic archival gems, new mixes and more.
The Deluxe 4CD/1DVD version contains:
- The Age of Consent. The original album, plus 6 bonus tracks [7” versions and radio edits]

- Ignore at Your Peril – The Rarities Plus. Radio sessions, previously unreleased early versions, and studio sessions
- DVD: "The First Chapter – The Videos Plus". Restored music videos, Top of The Pops performances, Original TV adverts
- 24-page booklet featuring rare and unseen photos, and essays.
