  1. Yes, I really wih they would. Just think about it, if they all paid their fair share, everyone might pay lesss!
  2. New Reggae album of the year, possibly. Horace Andy - Midnight Rockers. Out this week, which true to On-U Sound form is at least 18 months after it was meant to appear Horace Andy has such a great voice. Three tracks even manage to feature Style Scott on drums, who has been dead 8 years (AMS will have a huge library of samples and clips, even whole tracks that haven't been used before and even some that have, it's the way he works) and 5 tracks feature the recently deceased bassman George Oban. Lots of other On-U regulars also feature Track 3 is a great cover of Safe From Harm by Massive Attack, this song also contains the album title in it's lyrics (Shara Nelson was first recorded and produced by AMS which lead her later into the Massive Attack fold) The writing credits always interest me, it seems that some of the tracks were penned by Jeb loy Nichols / Adrian Sherwood / George Oban, some are Horace Andy compositions (H. Hinds). I now have to find out who L. Kenny really is as he gets a few credits in there. A new On-U album always excites me
  3. Soundtrack album of the 1967 documentary on "Swinging London" - Tonight Lets All Make Love In London Contains various bits of Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd. Vashti Bunyan, Small Faces and Chris Farlow interspersed with bits of interviews from the film by Michael Caine, Mick Jagger, Andrew Loog Oldham, Lee Marvin and others. Some of the things that are said have not stood the test of time. If Michael Caine was to say what he said today, he'd get lynched And yes, it does contain the famous Alan Ginsberg quote that is the title of the film
  4. Makes sense because most of the other stuff was released as Salad Days in it's own right, contains the original bedroom recordings of the tracks on the album proper plus peel sessions, out-takes etc
  5. Isn’t it a double cd of both? IIRC I ordered 2 by mistake I think it contains everything they recorded
  6. This one is worth really silly money for reasons I don't understand. I was a huge hit there should be gazillions of them out there. It's a first UK pressing (but the original is US), there are two versions based on the pressing plants, that doesn't make any difference Median price £50-60, This one is actually in a conditionIt's well known that this is a pretty rubbish pressing that it would fetch much higher than that One comment from a seller on Discogs..."It's well known that this is a pretty rubbish pressing" The value is utterly baffling
  7. Didn't we already agree to that a couple of weeks ago?
  8. More Welsh. Perfect for a Sunday morning. Minimalist Post-punk from Cardiff 1979. Darlings of Peel, hugely influential, one album and split It's an absolute belter of an album. Voice (so sweet), bass, guitar and organ, thats it This is the 1980 first impression on Rough Trade
  9. What happens if the company has a shit year and the dividend is rubbish?
  10. They could send him on an unguided walking tour of Mariopol
  11. There is no single Scottish accent, just like England there are lots. The difference between the accents of Glasgow and Edinburgh is massive for example and they are only 40 miles apart Now Glaswegian is as impenetrably harsh as Geordie but the Edinburgh accent is soft and easy to understand
  12. You are putting too much faith in literal translation by some soldiers
  13. Australia is a federation of states like the USA, so it has state capitals But I agree, its about as much a Captal City as Juneau
  14. I appear to have a donkey in the office sweep, they even put its odds on the slip, 80/1. I forget what the donkey is called though
  15. #Worldle #77 1/6 (100%) https://worldle.teuteuf.fr
  16. yep, that was rather easy #Heardle #42 ️️️️️
  17. totally messed up my second line by putting the same wrong answer in as the first line like a dickhead but yes, that took some working out nerdlegame 79 4/6
