由NME音樂雜誌在1986年所製作的C86錄音帶即將於明年由Cherry Red Records以雙CD版本發行，這捲傳奇的C86卡帶集結八零年代眾多英國獨立樂團的歌曲，反映出當時英國蓬勃的獨立音樂場景，包含了Primal Scream、McCarthy、The Wedding Present等影響後世深遠的樂隊。雖然先前已經有 Saint Etienne團員Bob Stanley所製作的致敬合輯CD86，但這次重發的曲目將會仿照原始卡帶，藉由這次的重發版本相信可以讓新舊樂迷以CD格式完整收藏這捲卡帶的音樂。

Cherry Red Records也成立了C86的FB專頁。

"Velocity Girl" was the first track off the NME C86 compilation, and the name was used as a band name of a 90s indie pop band. Primal Scream featured, among others, Bobby Gillespie, drummer from The Jesus and Mary Chain. Many consider this to be one of the most simple, yet recognizable and memorable, songs off the C86 compilation tape.
