Soul Jazz Records' Secret Superstar Sounds brings together a wealth of incredibly catchy tunes from late-70s and early-80s British groups you have probably never heard of. Powerpop mixed a love of melodically beautiful 60s pop and garage sounds with the energy and attitude of 70s punk, leaving these bands out of step with the fashions of the day and practically unknown to all but a few. Inspired by the DIY messaging of bands like The Desperate Bicycles and labels like Stiff, Chiswick, and Rough Trade, most made their own private-press records and tried to figure out everything else afterward. These remain beautifully crafted three-minute gems and long-lost micro-histories of a hidden genre, featuring bands like The Squares, The Meanies, The Monitors, and Plummet Airline.
