Like you I saw them twice; both opening for The Police. I had tix for English Settlement tour and was disappointed about the cancellation. I sent Andy a letter and attached is his response.

It was pretty neat to get the letter.

It was something and some footage is on YouTube

It’s a great tune. I also love Crashes the second LP; Hearts In Her Eyes should have been a hit for them or The Searchers

Day 1 choice. First 45 I bought as a ten year old…

Nice haul. Quad 90 is a great lp

I’ll give you two

I Want You Back - The Jackson Five (could we say the fab 5?)

Late to the party tonight. My wife and I were in the car on a long drive back from a family gathering.

This came on and a) I turned up the volume, b) she exclaimed what’s the point of this version and c) I had to confess I bought the 45 when it came out.. she still didn’t get it.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen.

Trashcan Sinatras (also when they were Trash Can Sinatras)
Laura Marling
The Replacements
Shack
U2

I’d also like to get one. Thanks

I love Chris Stamey and the early LP’s that came out in the UK.

I need to listen to their opening set; I was digitizing the REM show yesterday.

It’s a great record! I found a unique variation in France. It’s a gatefold with nothing but donkeys on the inside. I’m surprised the French would go to this much trouble..
