Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick
A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

A worthy #1. I loved With You from Here and Tired Of Being Alone off the last record too. Raymond always goes under the radar.

I only chose it as I thought the artwork looked better in black - didn’t know there was a difference in packaging

In the build up to our Edgar Jones release we will be streaming a few tracks that didn't make the vinyl.

Loved this album. Saw them on a co-headline with the Magic Numbers round about then. My Eyes Are Sore is a beauty

RIP Brian Patten. We read Gargling Eith Jelly at school; loved this later. Saw him reading once, at Crosby Civic Hall with McGough; a great memory.

#1 in my #REMTop30
Not sure I would have called this as #1 in advance, but it’s a special song, final part of a stunning closing trio on a great album, so maybe it was always going to be…

3 in my #REMTop30 .
An unlikely hit single: no real chorus, written on the mandolin, and from their 7th album. Not sure something like that could happen these days…
