A wild guess that this will be all Whelans and No Disco type stuff..?

bah

maybe

 

[pete]

Don't think so.

I'll let you know when the review copy arrives AHEM

 

[Jerry Twig]

Why would anyone need to hear a Sinead O'Connor album before they die, or the Four of Us for fucks sake? There's even a Gavin Friday album on the cover.
Jesus wept, it's Christmas alright

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

sinead o'connor is great

 

[therealjohnny]

Yeh Deadlies for the win, most of the rest can fuck right off. It should be the 1 Irish record, well maybe Heartworm's in it too. Heartworm and The First Book Of Lessons.

 

[GO]

I saw Mary Coughlin open air behind the Ilac around 87..she fucking rocked the gaf big time.

 

[HMD]

i thought it said Tony Fenton wrote the book. There's a book of records you'd need to hear before you die

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I saw Mary Coughlan a few times too, she was great

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I saw Mary Coughlin open air behind the Ilac around 87..she fucking rocked the gaf big time.

I was at that.

The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock are in it too.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Good! Any MDR?

 

[Deleted member 3435]

Nope. It's got Heartworm alright.

Engine Alley - A Sonic Holiday
a House - I Am The Greatest
Something Happens - The one with Parachute

Lots of that sort.

A few U2 rekkids.

My favourite bit so far is what Bono says about Boy. Something like "It's one of the greatest debut albums of all time but if I'd spent more time on the lyrics and sung in my own accent it could have been really good."

 

[Unclealo]

The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock are in it too.

Deadly buzz!

 

[Anthony]

The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock are in it too.

TCL, redeemed.
