On front cover:
"Select highlights from independent british labels"
On back cover:
"1977 was the year that the music came out of the concert halls and onto the streets; when independent labels sprang out of the woodwork to feed new tastes; when rock music once again became about energy and fun; when the majors' boardrooms lost control. Suddenly we could do anything.
Beggars Can Be Choosers."
