More Info

Original 1996 compilation by Gene acts as a fine album in it’s own right

Featuring early tracks such as ; ‘For the Dead’, ‘Be My Light, Be My Guide’, early live performances from Glastonbury, Radio 1 Session and The Forum and stand out
cover versions of ‘I Say A Little Prayer’ and ‘Don’t Let Me Down’

Double LP pressed on 180g Heavyweight vinyl, with original artwork and printed
inner sleeve

Inspired by the songs of The Smiths, The Jam and The Faces, Martin Rossiter’s literate vocals and Steve Mason’s fluid guitar lines were perfectly complemented by the intuitive rhythm section of Kevin Miles and Matt James. They released four studio albums and a collection of B-sides and radio demos between 1995 and 2001, were named Best New Act at the inaugural NME awards in 1995, and went on to score 10 Top 40 hits.
