Had the worst day ever. I paid a joiner to build me a double bed and he's done a bunk.

Behold the epitome of effortlessness, the shimmering visage of a man in the prime of life, casually overtaking rival competitors by the dozen at every length. A true athlete. A genuine powerhouse. Perseverance is his middle name. Indefatigable. Indomitable. Heroic.

Two early UK versions, with different B-sides, one w/Mr. Pleasant. Several other international releases, usually with David Watts on the flip. I just picked the picture sleeve versions.

Neu!'s 1972 debut. A krautrock milestone that influenced countless artists over the years : Eno, Bowie, Iggy Pop, PIL, Radiohead, etc. The epic, beautiful 10-minute opener, Hallogallo, alone, is worth the price of admission but the rest of the record is also worth listening to. Pioneers.

Bought this 35 years ago today. One of the greatest singles of all time and the daddy of all dub tracks. Was totally stunned when I heard it for the first time. Earth-shaking, visionary. Seems nuts that it’s almost half a century old.
