IN 1981, I was invited to join the pioneering, category-busting and extremely eclectic independent label Cherry Red Records and, once signed, was invited into the despatch department to take my pick of anything in their back catalogue.
It was thus that I got hold of a copy of Miniatures, a compilation LP put together by former Mott The Hoople keyboard player and Cherry Red collaborator Morgan Fisher, released a year before. A vast number of luminaries had contributed 51 tracks, all under a minute in length.
Some of it was great, some weird but the album was unique and memorable and therefore brilliant.
