The Manchester Musicians' Collective Of West Didsbury were responsible for this album of @1980 bands,all detailed in the Fanzine styled enclosed booklet printed by the Moss Side Community Press. This is where we enter the territory of the Unknown,the Rare and Precious,something pretty untouchable and unreachable. Its a glimpse of the past in a moment gone forever,when all these bands clutched at the Brass Ring and all of them were unable to hold on to it though Dislocation Dance made the Indie chart a year later and the Enigma were called the "best band in Manchester" by "City Fun" though noticeably missing from the Guiness Book Of Indie & New Wave. "Available as an 8 track 12 inch" read an advert for the Hoax,"as soon as we've enough money available" Or "Performance are going to go places and in a big way" Its a time capsule of what could have been because,for Godssakes some of this stuff is as good as what was going down in the South.It was,after all,issued at a time when the Joy Division were about to metamorphosise into New Order,when Mick Hucknall was a Frantic Elevator and before the Smiths took hold.
