The Direct Hits were formed in Battersea /Tooting Wandsworth, and released their first single MODESTY BLAISE on Whaamm Records. After releasing another single and an album BLOW UP in the Autumn of 1984 they were heavily ensconsed in the mod revival, then morphed slightly toward pyschedelia with the release of their second album. THE HOUSE OF SECRETS on their own label, FORBIDDEN RECORDS.

The Killers’ only existing greatest hits album ‘Direct Hits’ is released for the first time on 12 inch 180g double vinyl! The album features all of the band’s classic tracks, plus two studio tracks released only on this format (‘Shot At The Night’, ‘Just Another Girl’), and one extra bonus track never before released on vinyl (‘Be Still’). However, I am very pleased that The Killers have gone the traditional route and compiled all their best songs into a single new release.
