Continuing this look back at free CDs given away with newspapers and magazines. Today’s dates from 2002 and consists of ten tracks from singers/bands on Heavenly.
From the blurb on the back of the CD:-
Heavenly Recordings started out in the summer of 1990, fired up in equal measures by acid house and Dexy’s Midnight Runners. Within a year, the label had acted as a springboard for Manic Street Preachers, Saint Etienne and Flowered Up. In the 12 years since then, Heavenly has broadened its horizons to take in club nights (The Heavenly Sunday Social, the first DJ residency by The Chemical Brothers) and bars (The Social bars in London and Nottingham), all the while releasing music by anyone who gets them excited. 2002 sees new records by, among others, Doves, Beth Orton, The Vines, Dog and Ed Harcourt, tasters of which are included on this CD. We hope you like them as much as we do.
