The only one for me. Adore it.

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

It's just amazing. Not sure any of them did anything better.

grahamh.bsky.social•101 days ago

They definitely didn’t for me.

I wish they had carried on, never liked the Mission much or the Floodland / Vision Thing Sisters, bar the odd tune.

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

Liked The Mission but i appreciate it's difficult to get beyond the awful lyrics.

jazcoleman1970.bsky.social•101 days ago

Their lyrics are pretty terrible. Wayne and his big book of random clichés

The second side is a practically perfect slab of vinyl.

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

Too true. I like the use of the word slab here.

Classic. Been too long since I listened to this !

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yeah? It all seemed to come together for them on this one

seaofdays.bsky.social•101 days ago

Absolutely. Shame it didn’t last longer 😊

Was disappointed some of those early ep tracks weren't on it would've been essential.

Stunning first album, the best for me.

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

Definitely. I see yours is on WEA.

slippydj.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes, it is the spanish edition from Warner, 1985.

A landmark LP but the early 12” that came before it really set the scene.

anthonygregory.bsky.social•101 days ago

Personally the classic line-up is Gunn in place of Hussey, but this is obviously pretty great. Side 2 is astonishing

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

Respect. That's fair comment Anthony.

40th anniversary next year. It’s quite sad that it’ll probably pass by without much retrospection and will be largely ignored by the creators themselves. It’s a seminal album, and the 81-85 version of the band was genuinely thrilling and utterly compelling.

dtate0007.bsky.social•101 days ago

It would be good if it was reissued for it's 40th. I'm hopeful that if it can be done it will be.
