The sounds of NME's C86 cassette compilation have left a mark on various waves of indie pop since the tape was first released in 1986. On June 9, the Cherry Red label will reissue the collection in an expanded edition, spanning 72 tracks across three CDs, as Slicing Up Eyeballs reports.

That's an addition of 50 tracks from the comp's original 22 songs, including four that are previously unreleased. The original tape featured some bands that went on to become relatively influential—Primal Scream, the Pastels, the Wedding Present—as well as smaller bands like Shop Assistants, McCarthy (which featured members of Stereolab), and Close Lobsters. The newly added tracks include the Jesus and Mary Chain, Happy Mondays, Talulah Gosh, the Primitives, Brilliant Corners, Pop Will Eat Itself, and many more obscure bands of the era. Check out the reissue's full tracklisting here.

The three discs will come in a clamshell-style box with a book of liner notes, including 11,500 words from former NME writer Neil Taylor, who helped put the original comp together.
