Following the critically-acclaimed run of nine ‘Previously Unreleased’ 12” vinyl EPs released the summer of 2017 over 9 weeks by Trevor Jackson’s much loved Playgroup project – a Limited Edition Double CD (and Digital Album) of highlights from the vinyl was released in December 2017.

The music featured is a collection of reworked demos and unreleased recordings. A hedonistic mix of raw Disco, Dub, Funk, Electro, New Wave & Post Punk that still sound as relevant today as they did when initially recorded for the debut Playgroup album during 1997 – 2001.
