1st compilation album by The Undertones originally released on EMI sub-label, Ardeck is issued after the disbandment (mid-'83) of The Undertones. The original UK album is a double vinyl album containing 30 tracks. The abridged version of the album is the most common, which was issued in North America, Japan, and for the European market. The abridged version contains many great songs as it's a compilation of the band's A-side singles, but it's really the C- and D-sides on the double album, which also happens to be the singles' B-sides that makes the original issue a 'must-have'. Songs like "True Confessions", "Smarter Than You", "Emergency Cases", "Mars Bars" all have that extra wit and bit that defined this great band of the North, and which ultimately reveals what a great band they were to produce such great material as their B-sides.
