Notes :
Another exclusive record and one of my favourites on this blog, unreleased album ''Hopeful Mosters'' from early 90's Manchester indie band The Cygnet Ring.

After so many years of searching for good copy, before few weeks i received amazing quality rip of this cassette only release of the album after the band were dropped from Warner Music UK. Mainly sold at the band's gigs during the second half of 1992.

Huge thanks to my friend for great copy of ''Hopeful Monsters'', making available this obscure and unreleased album for the rest of the people on the blog.

Enjoy, must have it !!!
