Haircuts for Men : EARLY TAPE WORKS 5

[@ManicallyMellow]

Back in the 80's everyone in our community would gather outside the local barber shop to hear the latest releases by Haircuts for Men. In them days it was only allowed to be played by hairdressers but eventually it grew in popularity and you could buy a copy after collecting enough haircut stamps.. we used to get our hair trimmed down one grade at a time so we could get more stamps. My neighbour Gary was a boldy so he would have to come round ours and we'd pretend to cut his hair so he'd be allowed to listen to Haircuts for Men. Good times. Glad someone kept their copy after the big digital war of 99.. still reminds me of Bouncer the dog from Neighbours.

Like walking down a golden street in some golden town on one of those rarest of golden days and being bored outta yer gourd. THIS is the sound a tree makes when it tumbles in the forest and their ain't no one around to hear it. THIS is what's playing in my coffin, on shuffle. And THIS is why I shall live forever, or die trying.
