So, it turns out that Grace Dent thinks that FALAA is one of the top three pop albums of all time... O_o

I'm such a child....when I saw the corner of FaLAA sticking out behind the Smiths I instantly got goose bumps....I'm forty years old FFS!

How did she descibe it by the way "Pantomine of dark emotion" or soemthing similar...

I yelped when I saw it too - I was also mocked 'nah, it won't be Sisters, how can she class them as po... oh she has?'



Nice to see Road to Russia recognised too

I noticed it went right in the centre of the wall of sound. Stands out a mile. Pity it wasn't the gatefold sleeve she had.

When and where was it released with the white border?

Hounds of Love, Hatful of Hollow and Enormous Jugs: What is there not to like about our Gracie

Grace got taste!

Great TV moment! I love the way Danny Baker smirked "Sisters of Mercy??" and she replied "no, no, I'm having that" - she obviously has a great attachment to the LP - as do a few more of us around the place...

I seem to remember that back in the day when he was a music journo (NME?) Baker interviewed the Sisters at least once...

After her newspaper piece on the demise of HMV, this is the second time she's publicly confessed to a liking for the Sisters this calendar year. She probably thinks its a way of getting a cheap laugh at her own expense at the follies of her youth -either that, or she's heard that there's a goth revival just around the corner.

That's just what I thought... It's FALAA alright but bigger, no black border, and white lettering....

Fair play to her for selecting it, slightly more kudos if she'd brought her orig 85 g/f, but as she admitted, vinyl was likely to have had mascara on it and lost a sleeve.

With David Hepworth, it looked like the LP's he'd brought were his own copies from the 60's and 70's...

Flagg

It definitely wasn't Grace's copy of FALAA; the BBC provided her with the records for display on the wall of sound.

only worthwhile thing was the revelation boy george gave away the name 'sexgang children'
