Manic Street Preachers have penned a song for a tribute album dedicated to former 80s pop band The June Brides.

The Welsh trio have contributed their own rendition of the 'The Instrumental' to the 16-track record 'Still Unravished'.

The June Brides enjoyed a brief career between 1984-1986, releasing four singles and one album - 'There Are Eight Million Stories'.
