Pillows & Prayers (subtitled, Cherry Red 1982-1983) is compilation album released Christmas 1982 featuring artists on the Cherry Red record label at the suggestion of A&R head Mike Alway. The record was originally sold at 99 pence (in fact, “pay no more than 99p” was printed on the original sleeve), which helped ensure that the album peaked and remained at number 1 on the UK Indie Chart for 19 weeks and sold over 120,000 copies. Of note are tracks by English post-punk groups Everything But The Girl—whose singer Tracey Thorn also sang on her own solo track and as part of Marine Girls — The Monochrome Set and Felt, as well as a spoken word piece by writer Quentin Crisp.
