This album is unique.
All tracks have been donated royalty free and money raised by this project will be used to pay back some of the huge historical debt still owed to independent lables and artists from the collapse of Rough Trade Distribution.
In this current recession, therefore, 'A HISTORICAL DEBT' could prove the difference for many smaller lables between survival or collapse. Special thanks to the artists who have donated their songs, and to everyone involved in the album who have willingly offered their services either totally free or at cost.
