74 Tracks Exploring The Evolution Of Indie Pop, From The Gloriously Ambitious Productions Of Soon-To-Be Household Names To The Lo-Fi Shoestring Recordings Of Underground Mainstays. A Companion To The Hugely Successful 'Scared To Get Happy' Featuring The Jesus And Mary Chain, The Teardrop Explodes, Aztec Camera, Everything But The Girl, Pulp, Scritti Politti, Prefab Sprout, Del Amitri, Vic Godard & The Subway Sect, Wah! Heat, The Monochrome Set And Countless Other Iconic Artists. Includes Many Tracks Never Before Issued On CD And Rarities By The Likes Of April Showers, The Wee Cherubs (Who Evolved Into The Bachelor Pad), The Cinematics (Soon To Become Razorcuts), Mo-Dettes, The Page Boys (Who Evolved Into 1000 Violins), Pulp (An Early B-Side), The Twinsets (First Proper Release), The Ringing (A June Brides Spin-Off, Making Their Debut On CD), And The Suede Crocodiles (Their Second Single, Unissued At The Time) Produced By The Team That Brought You 'Scared To Get Happy', 'Still In A Dream', 'Another Splash Of Colour', 'Revolutionary Spirit', 'Losing Touch With My Mind', The 'C86' Series And Countless Other Hit Compilations And Box Sets. 'The Sun Shines Here' captures perfectly the moment indie pop emerged from the ashes of the post-punk years, bringing a brighter, more ambitious sound, and an enthused cross-section of British youth culture, into the spotlight. A must for lovers and collectors of independent music and admirers of the independent spirit that enabled it. In 2013, Cherry Red released the widely acclaimed 5CD collection, 'Scared To Get Happy', documenting the evolution of independent pop across the '80s, from it's roots in post-punk through the so-called C86 scene and beyond. Eight years later, Cherry Red presents the sequel, 'The Sun Shines Here'. Once again referencing a Hurrah! Song, this 3CD set revisits and explores the birth of Indie Pop, a period when, in the early 1980s, as London centred around more angular, aggressive music, bands emerged from Scotland, Liverpool and Manchester drawing on the cooler end of '60s and '70s music to create something fresh and new.
