This posthumous compilation was released by Creation Records in 1990 and is now out of print.
Felt are often cited as a major influence by Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch - if that's not a good pointer I don't know what is. The band released ten albums and ten singles in ten years and then disbanded - such perfect symmetry.

As a little bonus, I have also uploaded a four-track radio session they recorded for Andy Kershaw (UK BBC Radio 1) in 1986:

1. When The Dawn Starts Creeping In
2. Sapphire Mansions
3. Rain Of Crystal Spires
4. All The People I Like Are Those That Are Dead
