'D.I.Y.' and indie postpunk from The Manchester Musicians Collective 1977-82 Messthetics’ first visit to Manchester
surveys the the most successful and innovative of Britain's postpunk-era musicians collectives. The MMC’s most

(frequently) band-members affected and inspired them all - future stars and faintest sparks alike - to create a

MP3 tracks: 90 minutes of music. 24-page booklet, extensively documented with histories, photos and artifacts.
