Guest bluesxman Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 If anyone likes so called 'alt country' type stuff FOPP are currently selling this double CD set for a fiver. It's very good. I recommend! And if you buy and don't like it second hand prices on Amazon will net you much more than this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMike! Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 There's not been a volume 2 of any of these compilations yet, i don't know if there was ever meant to be either.I'm not sure if Rough Trade are doing them through Mute anymore as the last Counter Culture was through V2, that may have something to do with it?The Indiepop Vol 1 compilaton is great too. It used to be a fiver in Fopp, maybe not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the double CD best of year efforts are cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmd040 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 This is THE compilation for anyone who thinks that all country music is shite. You'll find a bit of country in everything you listen to after this one. It aint worth a dang if it aint got some twang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
