Release Date: Pre-Release (Expected on 02/07/2007)

Domino do the decent thing and put every known young marble giants studio recording together on this remastered triple cd set. 'colossal youth and collected works' features the rough trade released 'colossal youth' album from 1980, as well as the 'testcard ep', the 'field day' single, the 'salad days' early recordings collection, and young marble giants's cut from the 'is the war over' compilation plus five peel session tracks.
