Great record but every time I see it lauded I remember how criminally overlooked the (even better in my view) ‘Unworthy’ by the McAlmont-fronted Thieves from a year or so earlier was/is. Truly one of the greatest pop records ever released

McAlmont’s only appearance on a John Peel playlist…

This is my alarm tone - kinda works!

I would read a book describing the way-points on a meander through perfect British gay pop singles... and I would buy the double album that accompanied it.

Wadey's book 1984 is fantastic, even if not exactly what you're talking about.

Why thank you John.

I have a sort-of idea for s book that does something like that, just getting into preliminary stages of scraps of notes

Can be problematic, there's loads of Erasure in it.
