The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze & Brit-Pop Gems


Just in time to make it onto my holiday wishlist, Rhino Records has done what they do best again. They’ve made an indispensable, amazing compilation box set. Spanning four discs, the set features 78 U.K. performers and covers British indie pop from the mid-80’s (The Smiths, Cocteau Twins) to the early 90’s Shoegazing Years (My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Lush, Moose) to the Brit-Pop invasion of the later 90’s (Suede, James, Pulp, Supergrass, Cornershop). The Brit Box is shaped like a British phone booth, and also includes an 80-page book with interviews, essays and memories from Stephen Street, Alan Moulder and more.
Make someone buy this for you!
