I suppose you can call this my contribution to the 20th anniversary of C86 celebrations. I cannot remember who sent me this (it was a while back and I forgot I had it) but a big thanks. This was the year when the Festive 50 was dominated by The Smiths & The Wedding Present but also sees appearances from a number of bands from the C86 tape.

That must have been an amazing year for music...although the Magic Numbers aren't that bad ;)
and this is a far, far too late response, but I just wanted to thank you for the Acid House Kings. I've never even heard of them until my own blog (!), and they're now one of my favorite bands.
Magic numbers headlining. 'Are you having a laugh'. What an an insult to the C86 bands

They are hosted on rapidshare. here is a guide:

i've got 1-10 to work, but still, when you've put in the code and pressed enter you get a "download session invalid" message.
