Bronski Beat,”The Age of Consent” (London Records)- Bronski Beat’s debut album, “The Age of Consent,” first saw the light of day in 1984, showcasing a string of distinctive hit singles led by “Smalltown Boy,” “Why?” and their revival of George Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So.” London Records have chosen to mark the 40th anniversary of this momentous event by releasing an expanded version of the album, fleshing out the original track listing with a generous helping of stylish remixes and new liner notes. Inimitable vocalist Jimmy Somerville left the fold soon afterwards and things were sadly never the same again but that shouldn’t be allowed to detract from the appeal of this splendid synth pop collection.
