First time widely distributed on CD for The March Violets’ ‘difficult’ debut album! 

Originally from Leeds in the early 80’s – label-mates of Sisters of Mercy.

Reformation album from 2013, originally a subscriber-only Pledge Music pressing. Rosemary Garland, Si Denbigh, Joanna Moy, Tom Ashton. Card gatefold sleeve. THE MARCH VIOLETS came from Leeds in the early 80’s, label-mates of Sisters of Mercy. Constantly at the heights of the UK indie singles charts, the singles were the base for successful compilations in the UK and USA. Signing to a major, they had two songs featured in a John Hughes’ movie – but split up before an album was completed.

Twenty-five years later they reconvened, making tours of the UK and USA. A single and video of ‘Dandelion King’ was issued in 2011. Unfinished business included an album, and Made Glorious was given a release in 2013 via an over-subscribed Pledge Music campaign. Fans got access to a very limited CD and download, but sadly events intervened to stymie that reunion much to the disappointment of their fans. Here at last is the long-awaited ‘difficult first album’ on compact disc from The March Violets!
