The great thing about Creation Records is they would release regular compilations of acts on the label. It was a great way to get into new bands. This LP contains tracks by Primal Scream, House of Love, MBV, Felt and the Weather Prophets.
These compilations got me in so many Creation bands
This cost £1.99 at the time, bargain!
