  1. Whatever happened to Hard-fi?? A good follow up album and they could have lived off this for life...

    1. Blogger playing up tonight - my original reply has gone AWOL, so you may get this twice :-)

      I only bought the Better Do Better 7" and the In Operation CD/DVD and, to be honest, purely for the dub remixes. Wrongtom's dubs in particular were great, but the original songs by Hard-Fi left me a little cold. Do you remember The Dead 60s? Heavily indebted to The Clash and their self-titled debut was so-so, but a limited edition CD came with a bonus Space Invader Dub album, which I love.
