A boutique reissue of The Undertones’ third studio album Positive Touch, originally released in 1981 and now pressed on white vinyl for the first time. This 2023 edition from BMG replicates the embossed original sleeve and showcases the band’s shift from punk-pop urgency to textured, melodic songwriting. Featuring brass, piano (courtesy of Paul Carrack), and recorders, this album blends anxious energy with sophisticated arrangements—highlighted by tracks like “Julie Ocean” and “His Goodlooking Girlfriend.”
