Just got the reissue of this LP as my OG copy was getting to bad to play anymore. This LP changed my whole musical direction.

Second on the setlist at the Manchester gig. Brilliant tour of old songs given a new life that kept us bouncing 😅

This album and his masterful performance on the Urgh! A Music War video/soundtrack influenced my musical tastes unlike anything I've listened to since.
