Various Artists - Best of the Subway Organisation / Various

Pollinated by Postcard Records and Various other indies of the early 80's, growing out of the fanzine and cassette scene of the time, Subway finally blossomed in August 1985 with the release of the Shop Assistants debut EP. Spring 1986 also saw the debuts of the Soup Dragons and such other established indie stalwarts as the Chesterfields, the Flatmates and Razor cuts, soon followed by releases from the Rosehips and the Groove Farm. The Clouds featured a pre-Teenage Fan club Norman Blake in it's line up and Choo Choo Train later became Velvet Crush. Subway's deals were most often based on no more than a handshake, which resulted in Pop Will Eat Itself recording just 2 compilation tracks before departing and Tallulah Gosh passing straight through without even visiting the recording studio.
