releasenotes

Back in May/June 1986, the New Musical Express released their latest
mail-order cassette, C86. Aside from a few ‘name’ indie bands (The Pastels,
Primal Scream, the Wedding Present), most acts were relatively unknown beyond
the back pages and gig listings of the weekly music press. Nevertheless, C86
slowly sold an estimated 40,000 copies, and would come to embody a whole
musical style and era.

In 2014, Cherry Red reissued C86 as a deluxe expanded edition, adding 50 bonus
tracks to the original 22. The box set was curated by original compiler Neil
Taylor and had the endorsement of the NME. And once again, the package was
extremely well-received and sold handsomely.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of C86, we’re now proud to announce a
sequel, in the shape of C87! Imagine if the NME had reconvened a year on from
their original compilation? Well, that’s the inspiration for another 70+
tracks, ranging from well-known Indie names to obscurities making their debut
on CD.

None of the selections on C87 have been available on any of Cherry Red’s
recent compilations (e.g. Scared To Get Happy). All tracks were recorded
and/or released in the year or so following C86 (i.e. summer 1986 to the end
of 1987).

Disc 1 boasts bands whose first recordings were made in 1986/87. Some of them
– The House Of Love, The Shamen, The Darling Buds, The Inspiral Carpets, Cud,
etc. – later enjoyed chart success. Others have since enjoyed cult status.
Examples include Kitchens Of Distinction, whose debut B-side ‘Escape!’ appears
here for the first time; The Boy Hairdressers, who would soon evolve into
Teenage Fanclub; The Vaselines, who were covered by Nirvana; and The Sea
Urchins, who christened Sarah Records with the classic ‘Pristine Christine’.

Discs 2 and 3 revisit many of the bands who graced the original C86 cassette,
checking in on later recordings by the likes of The Bodines, The Wedding
Present, Miaow, The Servants, The Wolfhounds, Mighty Mighty and McCarthy.

The original C86 cassette also boasted a clutch of recordings of a more
angular, abrasive nature from the Ron Johnson stable. These more ‘difficult’
bands are congregated early on Disc 3.

Tracks new to CD include those by The Bachelor Pad, The Heart Throbs, Rote
Kapelle, The Raw Herbs, the Great Leap Forward, The Submarines and Hangman’s
Beautiful Daughters. The Cud demo is previously unissued!

Once again, original C86 compiler Neil Taylor has contributed exhaustive
sleeve-notes, with a substantial booklet featuring period illustrations of
original record sleeves, flyers, fanzines, photos, etc.
