I can see me picking this up as it coincides (as did C87) with a time when, for various reasons, I wasn't doing much music wise.JChttp://www.thenewvinylvillain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-86222231462076497642017-04-26T04:56:52.764-04:002017-04-26T04:56:52.764-04:00By this time I was mostly listening to Acid House ...By this time I was mostly listening to Acid House and northern soul but a lot of the names are familiar.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-34862864082828123932017-04-25T17:42:15.160-04:002017-04-25T17:42:15.160-04:00I might be interested in The Pennine Spitter.

A...Swede, My history with these comes down to math. As you know, this is my taste with a capital T. I usually have many of the songs from their original issues, but I never have all of them. Are there enough songs I don't have to make it worth buying? Haven't done the math yet with C88, but my initial thought is I'm buying.<br /><br />Robster, Here are my thoughts (not a defense, mind you) on the omissions you mentioned. The Soup Dragons and the Wedding Present were on the original C86 and on the imaginary C87 as well. Perhaps didn't want to go to the well a third time. TWP did have two killer singles in '88 though. The singles from Soup Dragons in '88 came from an '87 album. Could have been a factor. Thinking maybe the Primitives were considered too big for this series by '88. Top 10 single and a major label and all that. Primitives did show up on the deluxe reissues of C86 and C87. In keeping with the spirit of C86, Sugarcubes probably omitted because of geography. With disc 1, Cherry Red said they made it a point to choose new blood and bands that broke through in '88. Like you, I don't think any of us would have a problem with the Wedding Present or the Soup Dragons making a third visit on the second or third discs.<br /><br />FORW, Can report no 1000 Violins... this time. Methinks many songs up your alley on this one.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-39304335723295676122017-04-24T17:22:22.369-04:002017-04-24T17:22:22.369-04:00Same as Swede.

Some notable omissions though: The Sugarcubes, The Primitives, The Soup Dragons, The Wedding Present. Maybe they featured on previous volumes, but they were still very much part of 1988 were they not?TheRobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277941961790844321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-34236690660904319552017-04-24T16:27:22.986-04:002017-04-24T16:27:22.986-04:00My word.

Always thought Bob would do a housemartins , they had the tunes and were fantastic live band. Saw them supporting and blowing away a dull as ditchwater 1000 violins at the duchess of york in leeds around this timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
