Including tracks from The Mekons (their absolute classic \"Where Were You\" lends its name to the collection), Soft Cell, Sisters Of Mercy, Gang Of Four, The Wedding Present, Scritti Politti, The Mission, The Pale Saints, and many more who stamped their mark on the indie charts and were regulars\/favourites on John Peel's radio show. Like many Northern cities, Leeds enjoyed an explosion of music triggered by the big bang of punk rock in 1977. Indie labels sprung up to cater for a new wave of bands, who carved their own identity as the 80s dawned. ‘Where Were You’ is the first comprehensive anthology of Leeds' independent music from that period, through to the end of the 1980s. From punk to goth, indie pop to industrial dancefloor, out-and-out pop to underground psychedelia, the four hours worth of recordings here are a celebration of the musical diversity emanating from the city's studios and clubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
