Associates byla post-punková a new wave skupina ze skotského Dundee, kterou v roce 1977 založili zpěvák Billy MacKenzie a multiinstrumentalista Alan Rankine. Prosluli emotivním vokálním projevem, experimentálním přístupem k aranžím a hitovými singly jako Party Fears Two.
Výroční reedice alba Sulk připomíná jedno z nejvýraznějších děl britské nové vlny. Původní album vyšlo v roce 1982 u vydavatelství Beggars Banquet a dostalo se do britské Top 10. Tento set přináší remasterovanou verzi z roku 2016, doplněnou o dema, alternativní verze, monitor mixy a výběr živých nahrávek z legendárních Peel Sessions (1981–1982). Obsahuje třicet skladeb včetně Arrogance Gave Him Up, Gloomy Sunday a Club Country.
