Ruby Trax – The NME's Roaring Forty is a compilation album released by New Musical Express (NME) magazine in 1992 to commemorate 40 years of publication. The album features 40 cover versions of classic Number 1 songs by popular bands of the era, though as the NME based it on their own chart,[2] some songs (such as Ultravox's "Vienna" recorded by Vic Reeves)[3] did not reach number one on the British Market Research Bureau/Gallup chart (now branded as the Official Singles Chart).[4][5] It was released in the following formats: three LPs (NME40LP), three CDs (NME40CD) or two cassettes (NME40MC), all having a total of 40 songs.
The album spawned a double A-side single featuring Manic Street Preachers' version of "Suicide Is Painless", which was listed as "Theme from M.A.S.H.", and the Fatima Mansions' take on Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" . The 12" and CD versions of the single included an interview with Steve Lamacq about an incident in which Richey Edwards had carved '4 Real' into his arm with a razor blade. This was entitled "Sleeping with the NME" and credited to the Manic Street Preachers. The single peaked at No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart.[6]
All proceeds from the album went to the charity The Spastics Society.
