LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Includes interview CD with Mike Alway & Alan McGee This album is the very best, definitive and absolute final word on the legend of EL Records. The album features the cream of el recording artists from Monochrome Set through to Marden Hill and Momus. Whilst only a critical and Japanese success in the Eighties, El is without doubt the name to drop today. EL Records has significantly influenced the likes of Beck, Pulp, Bis, Kenickie and Pizzicato 5. The package also includes a bonus disc, a 75 minute discussion between label influence Mike Alway, Cherry Red founder Iain McNay and head of Creation Records Alan McGee who attests to the influence el Records had on him and his artists. This album really should not be missed as it really is the final chapter of el Records
