UK three CD collection. C89 is another celebration of the '80s Indie scene, documenting a golden era when tuneful guitar-based bands made records on shoestring budgets, often issued on small labels with hand-made artwork, with little hope of mainstream exposure. Disc One is devoted to artists who haven't previously graced this series, who first made an impact in 1988/1989. Carter The Unstoppable S*x Machine, The La's, Milltown Brothers, The Family Cat and The Telescopes were among the indie scene's biggest names that year. Disc Two revisits many of the bands who appeared on C88, with later singles or B-sides by The Stone Roses, Mock Turtles, Pooh Sticks, The Man From Delmonte, Bridewell Taxis, Popguns, etc. Sarah Records - which came to epitomize a certain type of Indie Pop - are represented by Brighter, The Orchids, Another Sunny Day and Christine's Cat. Other key indie labels also figure, such as Creation (The Revolving Paint Dream), Bristol's The Subway Organization (Korova Milk Bar, Choo Choo Train), Manchester's Playtime (The Rainkings, New Fast Automatic Daffodils), Sheffield's Native (Treebound Story, featuring Richard Hawley, and The Snapdragons), Brighton's La-Di-Da (Daisycutters, Bobby Scarlet, How Many Beans Make Five, Said Liquidator) and Liverpool's Pink Moon (Barbel, The DaVincis, Jactars). C89 also includes two previously unissued tracks. New names to the series include The Bardots, The Seers, Po!, The Ammonites, The Ogdens, Kit, The Candy Darlings, Jane Pow, Rorschach, etc. Album Tracks 1. Come in Come Out - the La's 2. Tom Verlaine - the Family Cat 3. Which Way Should I Jump - Milltown Brothers 4. Nothing - the Telescopes 5. Inside Out - Brighter 6. Lions - New Fast Automatic Daffodils 7.

Three CD set. 1992 saw the British indie scene unwittingly poised to go overground and global in the wake of the guitar's revival in the early 1990s. 'C92' captures something of a no-man's land moment in time, with the InchbaggyInch scene brushed aside by American grunge and the artists who'd come to define the rest of the decade only beginning to emerge. From the intensity of shoegaze pioneers Ride and rich, through to melody-driven 60s revivalists Inspiral Carpets and The Stairs, in hindsight the year can be seen as a period of healthy transition and expansion which ultimately saw the scene pulled together by the music media under the umbrella term InchBritpopInch. Established names such as The Charlatans and Boo Radleys glided effortlessly over the landscape re-alignment, whilst soon-to-be household names like Radiohead and The Cranberries took their first tentative steps into a bigger world, enjoying the license to pursue their artistic persuasions with the luxury of major tag financial backing. A sea change was clearly coming. Essential for collectors of the 'C' series, fans of that time and place and anybody interested in the ongoing, mazy story of British pop music, 'C92' brings with it familiar favorites and previously unknown gems, to sit alongside other titles in the series. Album Tracks 1. Radiohead - Prove Yourself 2. The Auteurs - Showgirl 3. Delicious Monster - Dull Dull Dull 4. Ride - Leave Them All Behind 5. Gallon Drunk - Bedlam 6. Swallow - Tastes Like Honey 7. Blind Mr Jones - Fading Fast 8. Adorable - Homeboy 9. Earwig - Safe in My Hands 10. Huggy Bear - Single Bullets 11. Jacob's Mouse - Oblong 12. Kinky Machine - Going Out with God 13.
