Indeed I was so embarassed by them that I gave away my copies of the debut LP and. more annoyingly, debut 45 'Sense Sickness' which now goes for a good price on the second-hand market.

He's right. Rather wordy, but I love it too. Choosing what to play was such a tough call.

I recognise the cover of the Chrysalis LP, but can't remember having heard anything from it before today and the difference between this stuff and the A&M period is pretty vast. 'Deceive Yourself' is particularly good.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-54419026043348185742016-12-07T04:25:34.403-05:002016-12-07T04:25:34.403-05:00Wasn't aware that they had done anything befor...Wasn't aware that they had done anything before Waking Hours Brian<br />You are spot on with your analysis although I think that Nothing Ever Happens is a great song <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Charity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.com
