This timely repress offers a fantastic snapshot of the surge of creativity that surrounded Cherry Red at the start of the 80s and features early recordings from many pioneering and distinguished artists, including Everything But The Girl, Eyeless In Gaza, the Monochrome Set, Ben Watt, Tracey Thorn, Felt and many others… Legendary compilation album that attained one whole year in the UK Indie charts, with 19 weeks at No.1!
Back in 1982 this was my first introduction to the depth of the independent music scene. You could buy this LP for the princely sum of 99p and for that you were introduced to the likes of Felt, Joe Crow, Monochrome Set, Marine Girls and Eyeless In Gaza as well as the '60s psych sounds of the Misunderstood. It's great to see it available again, here combined with its volume 2.
