Why Is This Band So Underrated , They're So Good On So Many Levels . Tim Booth Has One Of The Most Amazing Voices Ever ! Anyway , I Still Love Em To Bits I Know A Lot Of Other People Do Also . Great Band , No , Awesome Band !

Great band the best from Manchester for me and one of the best ever. The Starlings wow I had forgot about those days when they would gather and fly.

Great to see Gavin on this. An amazing drummer. Sad to think he was out of the band a month or so after this. They were never the same for me after that even though they obviously got massive

[@josiewallace7968]

I wonder what Gavan Whelan and Paul Gilbertson are up to now

[@STEVES7EVE]

​@@josiewallace7968Gavan is still in manchester and works as a labourer. still gets royaltys from the music. If you saw him in the street you wouldn't recognise him. Still holds a strong resentment towards the band wich can't be blamed

[@mick2d2]

I was so in love with Tim when I was 12 but I thought he was James. Lol.

[@syntric]

Wonderful, I will definitely be looking for those birds next time in Manchester :-)

[@wijtweeun]

All About Time....I have Strip-Mine on cd.

[@mana3735]

They should have stuck with Factory for at least two albums.

[@corribnews2219]

I saw them supporting The Smiths in Galway in October 1984-- they already the right stuff.-- Kevin Whelan (no rleation to Gavin)
