  3. Fantastic track, and the album's none too shabby either.

    So many memories of listening to this in my late teens.

  4. One, I think the second album is pretty good too, but the first is definitely the best. I plan to post all three

  7. well, I've been planning on something even earlier. I've got all the Ryko gold discs and have only posted one so far: "Low" in the Eno series. It might be time for some black country rock

  8. I hated this song with a passion at the time - idealistic youth! But without the buzzcockian noise you can really appreciate the quality of the songwriting.
