One of my all time favourite albums.
Every track a winner. No Sign Of Yesterday and No Restrictions are amazing.

This is Men At Work's second album Cargo - the one with less well remembered Overkill and even less well remembered Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive on it - and without wanting to be rude about that cover, you do have to wonder if they even wanted it to sell...

The Last Christmas we get nowadays is the 1985 remix.
So does this mean that Last Christmas (1984) is still the best selling song to never get to number one?

The only time I’ve ever been starstruck was when I saw DCI Jack Meadows from The Bill in WH Smiths in Leeds.

Weird gig, for sure. We were bussed up there, by EMI, and the rep wouldn't tell us what we were going to do, until it was too late to pull out! I think the month after, we did the Gilbert The Alien show, which was no less weird, but a million times cooler

I’m 56. Not quite as old as Farage, but not so far behind. I remember stuff happening at school. Some of it like it was yesterday. Him suggesting people can’t remember accurately is simply bullshit.

Been buying music on physical media for 35 years, given tens of thousands pounds to the industry.
