As a fan of French pop and someone who grew up in Birmingham, I can't believe I have missed the work of Jams Birmingham until now...
#nowplaying Haven't heard Crass in years and the remasters are making this sound ace!
It's not their best, or most popular album but Orbus Terrarum has been my go-to soundtrack for getting work done for 30 years! From Uni assignments in the 90s to meeting deadlines for work reports today it gets me in the zone. #nowplaying

@stereoscopyblog.bsky.social Having read the article by Denis Pellerin about John Hill, I found the below CDV by him which may be of interest? Looks like 4 generations, possibly the Bedford family, Halifax. Original back has faded so included an edited version. stereoscopy.blog/2022/12/13/j...

Erasure have always been a singles band for me. Several amazing singles but I've never felt they did a great album. Admittedly I have only heard the few that covered the Pop 20 period, so I'm spending time today to see if I was/am wrong. #nowplaying Starting with Wild!
I might do a batch of Kinks albums in the monthly #ArtistFaveLP challenge Starting today with...
I'm sure there was another in that series with Dylan Rhymes - Naked and Ashamed on it (from the cinema vodka advert) I had that song on a Junior Boys Own label comp
