Featuring \u003ci\u003ePillows and Prayers Vols 1 and 2\u003c\/i\u003e, selected singles, album cuts and rarities, live tracks and a selection of contemporary peel session recordings. Icluding 17 previously unreleased tracks! With extensive sleevenotes courtesy of Will hodgkinson (the Times\/ Mojo), the artists, Mike Alway and Iain Mcnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally conceived as a label sampler by A\u0026amp;R man Mike Alway, \u003ci\u003ePillows And Prayers\u003c\/i\u003e quickly became both an iconic compilation and a must-have artefact of early 80s Thatcherite Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamously retailing at “No more than 99p”, the album provided an accessible gateway to both the Cherry Red label and the independent scene. Over 100,000 people took up the offer, found a pound and became a part of something that resonated perfectly with its own time and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, to celebrate its 40th Anniversary, this extensive companion to that original release features the Japan-only 1984 \u003ci\u003ePillows and Prayers Volume II\u003c\/i\u003e, selected singles and album tracks, live recordings, demos sourced from the artists’ own archives and the best of the Peel sessions recorded by Cherry Red artists at that time, this time capsule package both celebrates and revels in the eclectic, inclusive and downright unpredictable attitude of the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the hesitant lo-fi of Marine Girls, through the ranting verse of Attila The Stockbroker and the ethereal pop of Felt to The Passage’s state-of-the-art synth pop and the brutalist avant-noise of Eyeless In Gaza, \u003ci\u003ePillows And Prayers \u003c\/i\u003eremains a fascinatingly eclectic brew, and something of a membership card to that world, standing alongside the NME’s ‘C86’ cassette as an 80s indie time capsule which remains relevant and in demand today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented here in a deluxe hardbacked book format, and including no fewer than 17 previously unheard recordings, this edition of \u003ci\u003ePillows And Prayers\u003c\/i\u003e arrives complete with insight from the men who made it happen – Iain McNay and Mike Alway – the artists and The Times’ Will Hodgkinson. All of which makes for a must have review to a time and place when the aftershocks of punk were still being felt, “indie” wasn’t yet a genre and a pound could buy you entrance to a whole new way of thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing: 3CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE\u003cbr\u003ePILLOWS \u0026amp; PRAYERS PLUS\u003cbr\u003e1 FIVE OR SIX: PORTRAIT\u003cbr\u003e2 THE MONOCHROME SET: EINE SYMPHONIE DES GRAUENS\u003cbr\u003e3 THOMAS LEER: ALL ABOUT YOU\u003cbr\u003e4 TRACEY THORN: PLAIN SAILING\u003cbr\u003e5 BEN WATT: SOME THINGS DON’T MATTER\u003cbr\u003e6 KEVIN COYNE: LOVE IN YOUR HEART\u003cbr\u003e7 PIERO MILESI: MODI 2 (EXTRACT)\u003cbr\u003e8 JOE CROW: COMPULSION\u003cbr\u003e9 MARINE GIRLS: LAZY WAYS\u003cbr\u003e10 FELT: MY FACE IS ON FIRE\u003cbr\u003e11 EYELESS IN GAZA: NO NOISE\u003cbr\u003e12 THE PASSAGE: XOYO\u003cbr\u003e13 EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL: ON MY MIND\u003cbr\u003e14 ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER: A BANG AND A WIMPY\u003cbr\u003e15 THE MISUNDERSTOOD: I UNSEEN\u003cbr\u003e16 THE NIGHTINGALES: DON’T BLINK\u003cbr\u003e17 QUENTIN CRISP: STOP THE MUSIC FOR A MINUTE BONUS TRACKS\u003cbr\u003e18 FIVE OR SIX: ANOTHER REASON\u003cbr\u003e19 DEAD KENNEDYS: TOO DRUNK TO FUCK\u003cbr\u003e20 MEDIUM MEDIUM: HUNGRY SO ANGRY\u003cbr\u003e21 SOUL: TRIBES\u003cbr\u003e22 ALAN BURNHAM: MUSIC TO SAVE THE WORLD BY\u003cbr\u003e23 THOMAS LEER: LETTER FROM AMERICA\u003cbr\u003e24 SECOND LAYER: FIXATION\u003cbr\u003e25 KEVIN HARRISON: ALL NIGHT LONG\u003cbr\u003e26 A TENT: NO WAY OF KNOWING\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC TWO\u003cbr\u003ePILLOWS \u0026amp; PRAYERS VOL.
