Cut Me Deep (A Story Of Indie Pop 1985-1989)
2024 UK 4xCD Box Set

THIS was something I just couldn’t pass up.

There were just too many amazing artists and too many great songs to not buy it.

Each CD has over 70 mins. of music on it, and it’s the kind of thing where you can just pick ANY of the four, let it play from the beginning, and be completely happy.
It really is an embarrassment of #80s indie pop riches.

I’ll let you read the tracklist on your own to see what I’m talking about.

This might be my favorite thing I’ve bought all year.
Which is wild, because it’s CDs!

First Edition
1982 Canada 10” Compilation

Great little mix of stuff for a chilly Saturday morning, featuring artists that appeared on the EG label.

There’s a few different versions of this comp that came out, depending on the market in which it was being sold.
The U.S. version has a completely different track list and was a traditional 12” record. THAT version had a King Crimson track on it that’s absent on this 10” Canadian version, as well as a few other differences.

It’s a killer comp regardless of which one you have. This Canadian one has Adam And The Ants, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, Longe Lizards, and The League Of Gentlemen to name just a few.

One of my favorite compilations ever.
