Back in Bristol after a year working and travelling in Australia, back at college for a second go at 'A' levels having dropped out after 6 months a few years previously, back living with my parents after a period of independence and freedom and back in local record shops, sniffing out new and old vinyl.

Enjoyed both sides of this mixtape a lot. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I haven't heard some of the songs in a looong while. Particularly enjoyed hearing Lush and Fad Gadget again.
ReplyDeleteYes, also enjoyed the FG tracks. And pairing the early Go Btwns with Lloyd Cole on the second side reminded me how great both those songs are.
ReplyDeleteEven more incredible considering The Go-Betweens and Lloyd Cole songs were B-sides. Better than many of their peers' A-sides, in my opinion.
