'A 15 track compilation LP for the price of a 7" single from Creation' read the advertising line on this 1988 record, and truth be told, I don't think there's a bad song on it- Felt, The House Of Love, MBV, Primal Scream, Pacific, Heidi Berry, Nikki Sudden, The Times, Momus, The Weather Prophets, Emily, Biff Bang Pow!, The Jazz Butcher, Razorcuts and The Jasmine Minks- and the very definition of what indie was in 1988 before it went to Manchester/Brighton, popped that pill, removed the pointy Chelsea boots, bought a wah-wah pedal and some trainers and learnt to dance. Or shuffle.
What became of the Jasmine Minks?

It's a tip-top comp and I'm still wearing chelsea boots.
ReplyDeleteChelsea boots- always there, reliable. Shame when the toes get scuffed
ReplyDeletelove this compilation...I've copied it for a few close friends over the years...as for Chelsea boots. Still have a few pairs in the closet next to my Shelly's Creepers and ski-clip doc martens. But afraid it mostly desert boots and K-Swiss trainers these days...
ReplyDeleteThe Jazz Butcher tune on that (compilation) is awesome ...
