Steve Lamacq, the famed BBC radio presenter, has announced the release of a 4CD set he curated. Lost Alternatives is an impressive selection of UK indie/alternative 90s artists and boasts an extraordinary mix of well known and obscure tracks, plus many limited edition singles are also featured. This worthwhile collection leans way heavier on the obscure than the well-known, which is what makes this set stand out from previously released UK alternative compilations.
Lost Alternatives will be released in the UK on March 22nd and is available to pre-order now. Check out the tracklisting for the set via Demon Music below:
