I think it was meant to be an insult, but I absolutely loved these bands & as a result was aware of the musical artefact they had appeared on. I was impressed by the detective work in finding the various people and fascinated by the varying life stories.

It is a tale of musicians, but perhaps more importantly a tale of the routes in which life can take people. For those who aren’t aware (or old enough) the C86 was a cassette that the New Musical Express (a music paper) released in 1986, that had the intention of representing the state of independent music in the UK, across 22 tracks by 22 bands. I would have liked Nige to have asked Bobby Gillespie, of Primal Scream, about his recollections of the C86 version of the band, although I don’t think he’d have got a positive response!
Some are still playing in bands, some are in the same band, some have left the music business altogether. I had a good knowledge of the Weddoes and Primal Scream but only a vague awareness of some of the other bands therefore. I loved it, and recommend it to music lovers and anyone who likes to read about people and social history.
Thirty five years later the book chronicles Nige’s attempts to track down those bands to find out the impact the cassette had on their burgeoning music careers & what they’ve been up to since. Also I wish he’d asked The Bodines to reissue their album - I’m not paying 50 quid for the original! The book put that right in spades. Those stories were one of the many strengths of the book.
