This was a really exciting period for me and my mates. Lots of good new bands and plenty of them coming to venues near enough for us to go to.

I started to become a bit sulky about the Smiths because everyone was discovering them and I worried that they were becoming too commercial. This album wiped away those doubts.

I first saw the Shoppies when they supported Jesus & Marychain in Edinburgh. They were fantastic that evening and went on to make great singles, great sessions for Peel and this great album (although my copy of it is called Shop Assistants).

Marc Riley from the Fall creates a great album. It has a really good cover of Eno's Baby's on Fire and a black on black design on the sleeve.

The second album from Aberdeen's finest has the sort of cover you'd expect from an eighties aspiring chart band, but the Minks were never going to be that.

I discovered the Woodentops when they supported Everything But the Girl at Dundee University. They blew the headliners away that night with their power and confidence. This is a great album.

Teardrops' manager gets together with some Triffids and makes a great album for Creation before he goes onto greatness and infamy by burning £1,000,000.

Ex-Undertones make a great debut album. They were a powerful live act too.

Ex Swell Maps. Nikki Sudden makes a lovely album for Creation Records.

This was the big time for the Nightingales. They even made the charts in 1986 with The Vindaloo Summer Special ep. Number 56 in the UK charts!

Reminds me of growing up listening to college radio in the 80s.
