Comments: This is supposed to be a recollection of sorts of
the
history of the Alternative Records label, in existence since
1979.
The number of tracks that come from album releases is indicative of the
history
of the label. They'd been mostly sort of an underground label - a
haven for creativity - and like most of those labels, have disappeared
just as quietly since. They probably have less than 20 albums to
their
name (maybe even less than 10). This compilation was released
simultaneously
with the Shirley, Goodness and Misery compilation, which has
several
more unreleased rarities from this small label.
