Do You Believe in Love? A Creation Compilation

Break it down: this came out in 1990, and it's a Creation comp, so there are three main threads running through it - acid/ravey Screamadelica type stuff, post-80s guitar indie, and shoegaze of varying textures. The cd's frontloaded with three of its best tracks - "You're Just A Skin To Me" (Primal Scream), "Girl Go" (Jazz Butcher) and "Chelsea Girl" (Ride) - but keeps up the quality throughout (it doesn't hurt that there's a MBV classic, "No More Sorry", in the middle there somewhere). Nice.
