## Description

Deluxe three CD edition of this influential cassette-only release. Back in May/June 1986, the New Musical Express released one of their regular mail-order cassettes. Reflecting the latest trends in Indie music, C86 was a 22-track cassette which was inspired by the NME's C81 tape from half a decade earlier. Aside from a few name bands (The Pastels, Primal Scream, the Wedding Present, the Mighty Lemon Drops), most acts were relatively unknown beyond the back pages and gig listings of the weekly music press. C86 slowly but surely became the NME's best-selling ever compilation, selling an estimated 40,000 copies and eventually being reissued on LP and cassette by Rough Trade the following year. This deluxe expanded edition of the original C86 cassette adds some 50 bonus tracks. The box set is curated by original compiler Neil Taylor and has the endorsement of the NME. Neil has chosen tracks which could conceivably have been on the original C86 package. Key names include the June Brides, the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Primitives, That Petrol Emotion, Jesse Garon & the Desperadoes, Happy Mondays, the Nightingales, the Railway Children, Pop Will Eat Itself, BMX Bandits, and others.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fantastic collection, any fan of 80s British post-punk
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014*

Fantastic collection, any fan of 80s British post-punk, twee or new wave will find something to love here. I've been an avid fan of music from this era for about 10 years, and was delighted to find scores of great bands I'd never come across before. The brilliantly curated comp features dozens of underheard gems like the June Brides, Primatives and Bodines- every bit as iconic as their better known contemporaries like Orange Juice, Josef K, and Jesus & Mary Chain. The detailed liner book is terrific too, the interviews and show flyers offer a nice snapshot of the time. Highly recommended!

    Completists will love this, the casual listening will be left wondering...
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016*

Incredibly complete collection of 80's jangle pop from the UK.  Tons of obscure and influential bands.  Exceptional liner notes booklet and a handsome cardboard outer box.  For completists only.  That said, this compilation is the creme de la creme of the '86 indie scene in the UK.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN OF CLASSIC BRITISH INDIE ROCK!
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017*

Some really good bands on this comp. I also purchased the C87 set and anticipating the release of C88.I highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of 1980s music.
