Edited From "Ask Earache" 2007...
"In the late 1980s, Earache's leading grindcore bands were starting to breakthrough in the wider UK independent music scene, coming to the attention of noted London indy scenester Kevin Martin. Kevin fancied doing a compilation of the more adventurous UK independent groups around at that time...including a few from Earache's roster. He gathered the tracks and also did the art, but couldn't find the funds to press and distribute the release. Earache liked what he was trying to accomplish, so we took on the manufacture and marketing for him (a one-time press of 5000 copies). Afterwards Kevin carried on alone, retaining the compilation's title as the name of his label, as well as musically collaborating with Justin Broadrick."
