"Honey at the Core" is the name given to two compilation cassettes of then up-and-coming Scottish rock artists issued in the 1980s and 1990s. Ironically, the "Honey at the Core" of the time was by another Scottish band by the name of Friends Again which evolved to become Love & Money. Neither of which appeared on either album.
The first cassette - which came together with a fanzine giving further details of the artists - was released in 1986 having been compiled by future Glasgow Herald journalist John Williamson. It is notable for providing the general public with early recordings of future stars such as Wet Wet Wet, Deacon Blue and Hue and Cry, as well as a monologue by Bing Hitler (aka Craig Ferguson).
The second cassette - featuring rare tracks by The Proclaimers, BMX Bandits and Teenage Fanclub - is entitled "Honey at the Core (Part 2)", all profits being donated to the Yorkhill Children's Trust. It was released in 1991.
