'So In Love' if I remember.

Lovely record. Early doors OHS play.

Great thread - short and very entertaining.

I think being positive helps a little Pete, talk about summat you like instead mate.

....and if it wouldn't have been played, the split wouldn't have happened then? .....and I quite like 'Colouredman'

Great track, not heard it in years, made me day.

I won this album at Rotherham Clifton Hall by answering a question set by Dave Evison at the end of the night.

Now, there we agree.

Fair do's Pete....just let the hate go mate.

Not that I'm that arsed to argue over it fella but... ....as against what? On the Northern scene or just generally?

I know you're not Pete - but, are you taking the proverbial!? As a piece of music and lyrically, it's a lovely track.

My ashtray would have to be (and I believe this is the only time I have ever bought a dodgy record )...Mingko - 'Love For You'....and I think I paid about £30 for it of ov Arthur bitd. I listen to it now and am truly amazed at how vocally bad it is, how awful the instrumentation is (those keyboards AGHH!) and how weak the whole production is,, still can't believe I bought it.

Used to turn up in Brian Raes three for a quid box at Wigan often too.

Wigan memories.

I think I would call the halcyon days the days that involved a little pain and hardship for me to follow the scene (motorways, thumbs, buses, trains or a good [4 hour] walk with a fiver and a wrap in me pocket - I may throw in a good legging too) - so, on the back of that I'm going with '79 to '88.

Ignore that, I'm thinking of The Directions on Brunswick....I think.

'Movin' In All Directions' - there's one cracker on there if I remember.

Anyone heading up for the 40th?

Lovely, lovely album.

There's some lovely Jap Jazz stuff released on Underground Resistance as it happens.

Sounds silly but I can't find where I stored 'em right now, when I do I'll post 'em.

Didn't know that, love it.

Todays People, 7th Wonder and East Coast Connection.

Flame n King, Willie J & Co, started on King Tutt, The Controllers - 'Stay' and a few other bits mate.
