Nik Kershaw – Collected (2LP)

Nik Kershaw came to prominence in 1984 as an artist. After releasing his solo debut album Human Racing in February 1984, Kershaw’s career went into hyper overdrive.

Kershaw follow-up album The Riddle came out only nine months later and he appeared at the dual-venue concert Live Aid in 1985.

The career spanning overview on Nik Kershaw Collected features all his hits and is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies, which includes a 4-page booklet with liner notes and a third bonus LP.
