  • Description

    Darts was a nine-strong, energetic doo-wop group whose brand of visual excitement and tight harmonies earned them rave reviews wherever they played. They had a string of chart hits in the late seventies and early eighties and were one of the hardest working bands of that period. During their time on Magnet Records they spent 117 weeks in the UK singles charts, 57 weeks in the album charts and were awarded two silver and three gold singles, plus three gold and one platinum album. In 1978 Darts sold more concert tickets in the UK than any other artist. This six CD set includes all three albums recorded for Magnet Records as well as all the singles and b-sides.

    Includes the planned fourth album 'Frantic Antics' which was never released but featured the hit singles 'Let's Hang On' and 'Peaches & Cream' Plus bonus disc of 24 rare and mostly unreleased studio quality recordings all from the hey-day of the band. This represents an absolute treasure trove for fans, as it not only includes favourites from their live shows that were never released as studio recordings, but also lots of songs never heard before . The set also includes all the band's post-Magnet/Warners recordings released on the band's own 'Choice Cuts' label. Previously only available as vinyl singles, now for the very first time on CD and supplemented with yet more unreleased recordings.
    Incudes a 36 page booklet with extensive liner notes including interview contributions from the key members of Darts.
