Associates a fost o trupă scoțiană de post-punk și new wave din Dundee, înființată în 1977 de vocalistul Billy MacKenzie și multiinstrumentalistul Alan Rankine. Au devenit cunoscuți pentru interpretarea vocală emoțională, abordarea experimentală a aranjamentelor și single-uri de succes precum Party Fears Two.
Ediția aniversară a albumului Sulk aduce în prim-plan una dintre operele emblematice ale noii valuri britanice. Albumul original a fost lansat în 1982 la casa de discuri Beggars Banquet și a intrat în Top 10 britanic. Acest set include versiunea remasterizată din 2016, îmbogățită cu demo-uri, versiuni alternative, monitor mix-uri și o selecție de înregistrări live din legendarul Peel Sessions (1981–1982). Conține treizeci de piese, inclusiv Arrogance Gave Him Up, Gloomy Sunday și Club Country.
