Manchester, North of England : a story of independent music, Greater Manchester 1977-1993

"This compilation runs from the spark of punk fury ignited by the legendary Sex Pistols gig at the Free Trade Hall, to the big ideas of Tony Wilson and those early Factory records where the cover was better than the music, from being the birth place of The Smiths and a plethora of jangle acts to being the ecstasy capital of England (...) to the birth and swift death of 'baggy', and finally being the home of the biggest band of the 1990s, Oasis ... Obviously seven CDs need a major investment of time, but the investment is certainly rewarded".
