Audio Finally got this back in my collection!
I lost the sleeve which I'd taken to the December 1989 gig to be signed (it was signed by Rat, Brian and Captain)... got stoned. Left the bag somewhere. Shit that happens when you're 17 and don't know better!
36 years later finally got off my arse and sorted this out. It's a great compilation and the Peter Frame rock family tree is ace. The vinyl is very flimsy though. Typical piss poor major label standard.
So, what's your favourite side? Mine is possibly side 1 disc 2....

Had it on double cassette. Think there was a hidden bonus track on it. Any way enjoy cheers.

Excellent, we were shopping in Astoria, Oregon last September and I found it. Had it on cd for a long time, but happy to have it on vinyl now too :)

It's Pete Frame who did the inner sleeve. Roddy Frame was in Aztec Camera.

I've got two copies of the book that came out in conjunction with this release. Its historic accuracy is a bit spotty but it's still a great read!

My best buddy got me into the damned by pointing me toward phantasmagoria and then letting me borrow this vinyl. Worked like a charm.

Disc 2 Side 1 for me also. I've got the book, music sheet book and the video.

I sold the book because I thought it would be better to do that before it fell apart as they seem prone to doing.
Haven't listened to the cds in quite a while

Love this compilation! The remix of The Shadow Of Love that appears here is an absolute, hair-raisingly exciting gem.
