This is the second 100% Irish compilation from Break Records.
Only Leper Messiah appear on both volumes.
Undated, but likely to date from the mid-90s, circa 1994.
It features 22 tracks by 22 artists: some metal, some punk but mostly indie.
Few of these bands appear on this site. Most I've never heard of.
The CD was released with a generic cover mentioning every band but was also available with
covers which highlighted one track by a particular band only,
such as the Leper Messiah example shown
below. It is not known how many single artist covers were made. It seems likely that sales
of these would have been through the bands themselves. If anyone knows any more about this,
please get in touch.
The 100% Irish compilations were organised by Paul Ashford.
The CD was also released with a generic cover mentioning every band,
but was also available with covers which highlighted one track by a particular band only.
The band in question paid a small fee (circa £200-300) for these personalised
cover copies, such as the Remembrance example shown below.
It is not known if every band did this.
It seems likely that sales of the personalised CD would have been through the bands themselves,
while the generic cover copies were available in shops.
If anyone knows any more about this, please get in touch.
