RUBY TRAX: THE NME’S ROARING FORTY

Ruby Trax – The NME’s Roaring Forty é um álbum de compilação lançado pelo ‘rock inkie’ (jornal) NME (New Musical Express) em 1992 para comemorar 40 anos de publicação. O álbum apresenta 40 versões cover de canções clássicas número 1 de bandas populares da época, embora como o NME o tenha baseado na própria parada do NME, algumas canções (como “Vienna” do Ultravox gravada por Vic Reeves) não alcançou o primeiro lugar no gráfico do British Market Research Bureau/Gallup (agora marcado como Official Singles Chart). Foi lançado nos seguintes formatos: três LPs (NME40LP), três CDs (NME40CD) ou duas fitas cassete (NME40MC), todos com um total de 40 músicas.
