To celebrate our first anniversary we put out a flexi disc which the wild indians and pop wallpaper supplied for issue #17.
The following month the first of 3 compilation tapes came out to promote Scottish bands to the readers as many couldn't make it to the gigs.
It seemed pointless talking about great bands from around Scotland if you couldn't hear why we were talking about them.
Unlike most of the bands, we never went to art school and our marketing was shit, but luckily their music was great. Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh were represented on the first tape and Inverness, Arbroath and Perth would make the second and third.
To be fair, anybody who said they wanted to be on the tapes usually got on as it wasn't like we had a clue what was good or bad, we just wanted to pass the sounds on to a wider audience, those who wanted to hear bought the tapes and made copies for their mates.
I've got my greatest hits from the 40+ songs and its 3 hours listening!
