Ian Dicken from the Co-Op said: “By purchasing this compilation album you are helping to raise funds for the LMC, which was served a six month eviction notice in October 2018.
“This money will help the Co-Op carry out essential repairs on the building, as well as obtain new musical equipment, improving the facilities available both in the rehearsal rooms and recording studio.
“This compilation features tracks by musicians affiliated with the LMC in some form or other.

“It is all connected.
“Special thanks to all the bands on the compilation for submitting tracks to help the cause!”
A three-day “Raise the Roof Three” fundraiser is due to take place between January 11 and January 13 next year.
The compilation has been mastered by Mick Armistead.
The Co-Op has also released a 35 minute film called Glass Roof - 30 Years of Lancaster Music Co-Op, which celebrates the history of the organisation via interviews with bands and musicians that have rehearsed there, snippets of live shows, and a brilliant panoramic finale.

Ian added: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people standing by us and offering their support; whether it be signing our petition, donating to our campaigns, writing letters or simply wishing us luck.
“Your efforts are greatly appreciated.”
