Manicured Noise were Manchesters prime Art/Post-Punk-Funk act. Originally released as CTRUE3 in 2006 on CD, this new restructured edition features superb new original artwork by highly regarded Sardinian collagist/artist Andrea Floris.
"Sometimes it happens and no one can tell you why. A great—nay—an excellent band comes around and releases some stellar music, only to be forgotten in the overly-huge Bible of Rock History. " (Pop Matters 2007)
Following the highly acclaimed recent release on CTR “Perfect Motion”-Jon Savage's Secret History of Second-Wave Psychedelia 1988-93 (A Lauren Laverne BBC 6Music Compilation Album of the Week) comes a limited vinyl version of another previously very well received compilation on CTR. However, this album is cut from a different musical cloth, rooted firmly in the late Seventies/Early Eighties Manchester Post-Punk scene.
