An interesting compilation of various artists by Rough Trade / MNW from the early 1980s showcasing some new tendencies in music styles. The album is a Scandinavian release only and issued with Scandinavian label MNW.
I think, some of the artists and tracks are of little interest but the album really contains fine music, and thanks to this album, I came to know of Aztec Camera and The Go-Betweens. I'm not particularity a big fan of Robert Wyatt but his version of Elvis Costello's wonderful classic is another fine tune [here's the original].
