Soul Jazz Records presents Secret Superstar Sounds: Scraping Bubblegum Off My Soul 1977-80, a thrilling compilation that digs deep into the overlooked corners of late-70s and early-80s British music. Gathering 15 tracks from punk, powerpop, new wave, and DIY scenes, this collection shines a light on artists who flew under the radar but crafted some of the most infectiously catchy music of their era.
This release celebrates the spirit of a generation of British groups who blended the melodic beauty of 60s pop and garage sounds with the raw energy of punk — tunes that, as Soul Jazz puts it, "fell through the cracks" of cultural history but have lost none of their punch. For fans of the era and curious newcomers alike, this is a rare opportunity to discover a wealth of vibrant, spunky music that deserves to be heard.
