Beware the Rose!
I fell into that trap when I bought a 12" of theirs in the 80's
I wouldn't bother. Too contrived for me.

argh no, now I'm going to have "L.A. Rain" drawling through my head in a fake American accent all day

They weren't that bad.... I saw them a couple of times and bought the main tunes, LA Rain and Velveteen anyway. They've got some kind of "greatest hits" type album I think, as the man says download it from somewhere. Heck, I might even do it myself after this reminder...
You gotta love a band that makes a tune out of someone else's bassline (from a cover) quite so brazenly !
Get singing Lazarus - "The skies are black and the sun don't shine...."

f**king hell.
on which day? that tuesday in february 1984 when every other band was off playing different cities, apart from them and "cud"?
ok then, 3 words: "string", "of", and "beads"
and with that i retire from the thread.
as mark is dying to say: this thread could get ugly

Perhaps for a change we can LET a thread get a bit ugly?
It's boring if we're all nice to each other all the time. Richey would be out of a job, for one.

There was a low price compilation released about 5 years ago well worth getting, Mick Mercer did the sleeve note.
Never another Sunset was probably there best studio album.
