That oboe line gets me every single time. Beautiful song.

Looking forward to Leicester on the 19th. Last time with full band was in Mcr in 2019.

Enjoy. I’m seeing RF at Leicester on the 19th. Venue is apparently 2 minute walk from the train station so that’s perfect. Saw him at BOTW in 2019. Great show. He did “Twin Layers of Lightning”.

Are you off to see your almost namesake at BOTW on Monday?

Might be why I bought it

I just remember playing it to death on my little red Dansette record player. Much better than the Mud and G**y Gli**er albums I’d previously spent birthday money on.

Remember the horror of works nights out.

Glad you enjoyed. Was West Street getting lively when you left?

I bought this 50 years ago when I was 9. Think it was the third LP I ever bought. Know it all back to front. Sadly not available on cd.

Is he the folk guy? Not investigated if it is. Enjoy.

I bought and loved “The Godfather” by Spoonie Gee. I’d guess 1987. Just played it for the first time in ages and still love it.

Yeah Yeah Noh were my way into Joe Orton (as it were) so can also thank them for that too.

Re “Pocket Calculator”, the whole song is obviously wonderful but 3.04 to 3.32 is my definition of perfect pop.

Rang a bell the minute I saw your post so must have used it. My town had one average record shop called Discovery alongside the usual Boots, Woolworths, etc.

And Small Wonder, obviously.

Agree. I had all the vinyl back in the day but it all went. Paid about £70 to buy the collected works cd boxset a few years ago.

They were great fun live too.

“Alcohol” is their finest moment for me.

I’m very much in the early singles and “A Storm in Heaven” camp with The Verve but I don’t hate “Urban Hymns”. Theres not a lot to love in the solo records though.
