Various Artists - "The Wonderful World Of Glass(volume One)" (Glass Records ‎– GLASS 010) 1981


The primary reason for including a Glass records compilation on this site,is the inclusion of another lost Lemon Kittens track. The less strange,but beaty, “What the Cat Brought In”; not for completists only.
What else is on this then, you ask.......or ,more likely, probably not?

Nuneaton's Eyeless In Gaza soundalikes,Bron Area are on here, and even the two halves of yer actual, Nuneaton's own, Eyeless In Gaza dip into their vast reservoir of tracks for us.

Shit, I didn't see the Legendary Pink Dots! I usually slag these geezers off, but I'm fucked off writing about a band I don't particularly like. I hear nothing here to change my entrenched position.

Great tracks by, it's the Nuneaton connection again, Kevin Harrison. Not from Nuneaton are Schleimer K, Joy Div copyist lightweights English Subtitles, and probably many more?

I suppose we may get some sulking Nirvana bores salivating over the Marine Girls track, as Cobain expressed a liking for the twee indie act before blowing his brains out. Sad.....no not the suicide.....the Nirvana nerds!

Thanks for this.

Been looking for mp3's of the second volume "Shadow & Substance". If anyone has a link, please share!

I, too, have been desperately searching for vol 2. Anyone, anyone? Helloooo? ;-)

Meanwhile, Jonny, thank you so much for all you share! Don't say it often enough.

Thanks Holly....but didn't I notice you bigging me up on Thomas Storck's WFMU radio show a few weeks ago?....something along the lines of ...i'm a wonderful human being'?
I am not worthy, but thanks.

Yep that was me .. and yes, you are :-)

This was one of the more formative comps in my life. Really LOVE this album. For well over a decade I've been hunting for volume 2 of this series - it was less magnificent but full of fun in its own way. Can't believe no one has bothered to unearth that treasure yet.
