That’s touch and go.

Low Down Low you really picking Go For It over IM and Nobody’s Heroes?
"Go For It" is my fave SLF album and contains my fave tune of theirs "Piccadilly Circus".
I’m surprised.
I get why people like it so much as musically the band had improved and expanded but personally I was so grateful for them when IM was released I can’t get past it.
I like melody. I love IM but it is abrasive in places.
My mates and I were huge Pistols and first wave punk fans but we were just too young to be part of it. The Pistols imploded and lot of the other bands we liked were moving on. Then along came SLF and suddenly we had our punk band that we felt part of. We bought IM on release we went to see them live. You can’t beat those feelings.
I totally know what you mean. I was in a similar place with BAD. I missed the Clash years due to my age so when the first BAD album landed me and my mates were straight on board. It's that belonging that matters sometimes.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Same reason I love 2 Tone. When it broke we were part of it from day one, it was ‘our’ scene.

You should thank God every day you were born at a good time. I maintain the best ever year to be born is 1964 or 1965. I missed it by four years and I was landed with Spandau Balllet and Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

My first ever gigs were Racey and Darts! Pretty big news at the time for the little hamlet i hailed from.

I loved Darts. Lay Your Love On Me by Racey is spectacular.

From memory i think they might have played Lay your Love three times that night, as part of two encores. Which was entirely fair enough far as i was concerned. Darts were my favourite band in the world for maybe a year or two.

Here's another ticket I've just come across held separately from my other stash for some reason. The story behind this gig is in the 'autographs' thread with a Steve Nieve autograph.

Very nice. It's been years since I last saw EC. Would love to see him again.
