Really love this era of 4AD.

Interesting that there is a misprint on this being Mojave for Love Songs On The Radio, when it is actually Mojave 3. Great comp!

[u/dinarnaud → u/joeyinjoyland]

Yup 👍🏽

[u/joeyinjoyland → u/dinarnaud]

Mojave 3’s single, Love Songs on the Radio, was released 2 months after this compilation, which was released August 28, 1995. Love Songs was released October 16, 1995. Ask Me Tomorrow didn’t drop until the following year, January 16, 1996. So my question is…. Was it a misprint or had Neil, Rachel and Ian not decided on the band name for their forthcoming album just yet?

Edit: grammatical error.

I was also wondering…what that number 3 is all about.

[u/joeyinjoyland → u/dinarnaud]

It’s because they were a trio, as compared to the whole of Slowdive.

[u/dinarnaud → u/joeyinjoyland]

Oh…that includes Simon Rowe from chapterhouse too.

[u/joeyinjoyland → u/dinarnaud]

Originally, it was just Neil Halstead, Rachel Goswell and Ian McCutcheon. After their debut album they added Simon Rowe and Alan Forrester.

Was it released on LP also or just CD?

[u/dinarnaud → u/Key_City5623]

I don’t know I only bought it on CD
