Domino have announced their plans to release a seven-disc anthology of music by Orange Juice. It’s entitled Coals To Newcastle and will be released on November 8.

The set includes six audio discs that cover the band’s entire discography together with additional studio recordings and a collection of their BBC sessions. The DVD includes the videos for the singles ‘Rip It Up’ and the Derek Jarman-directed ‘What’s Presence?!’, as well as four performances from The Old Grey Whistle Test and concert film Dada With (The) Juice.

It’s fair to say that Orange Juice, formed in the Glasgow suburb of Bearsden in 1976, are one of the most influential bands ever to emerge from the British Isles. Initially recording for their own Postcard label, which they ran with manager and svengali Alan Horne, Edwyn Collins’ troupe helped define the DIY sensibility of the post-punk era, but rejected its common tropes of political and urban alienation to pursue an altogether more romantic, optimistic muse, drawing on such then-unfashionable influences as The Byrds, Chic and Motown along the way. After releasing a number of seminal 7″ singles, the band signed to Polydor for the release of their 1982 debut album, You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever, the original line-up dissolving not long after its release. With a couple of new recruits, Orange Juice went on to record the Texas Fever mini-LP and full-length swansong The Orange Juice before calling it a day in 1985.
