Various - A Manchester Collection: Bands of the Manchester Musicians Collective (1979) (@256)

I've promised some time ago that I'll have an upload about Band on the Wall. The reason is the Manchester legendary venue's reopening on September, 25, after a serious renovation that lasted four years.
This upload features bands of the Manchester Musicians Collective. The members of these bands are posing for the cover art of the album in front of the Band on the Wall, which hosted them for quite a while on Sunday nights. Although these bands are unknown, the overall result of this release is pretty good, giving a nice glimpse of how post-punk was perceived by local musicians. It should be also stressed out that members of the Collective were, for short or long, the Fall, Warsaw/Joy Division, Spherical Objects and A Certain Ratio.
Finally, the trivia here is that the label Object Music who is responsible for this release was founded by Steve Solamar, founding member of the Spherical Objects and deejay in the Electric Circus.
