Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster

Absolute classic Punk from SLF, Guaranteed to be on any "best of" punk compilation.
This is a substantial piece of plastic (as in the disc is twice as thick as most) :)
Personally think SLF never bettered this.

Amazing to think that some of the all time great punk tunes like this never hit the Top 40, considering some of the shit that makes the charts?

A - Alternative Ulster
B - 78 R.P.M

Bruce Foxton - Freak

Jam bassist Bruce Foxton's only solo hit, which considering his great vocals on a few of the Jam's biggest hits was a surprise.
Paul Weller obviously went on to have a lot of success but Bruce drifted around after the Jam split, later joing Stiff Little Fingers.

Blah Blah ........
One of the main problem with Vinyls is that sometimes they get stuck, the B-side of this one was playing along nicely until about 3 minutes then it refused to go any further... lot's of cleaning and a final wipe with the old favourite "fairy liquid" eventually did the trick :-)

A - Freak
B - Writing On The Wall

Various - Loud Proud and Punk

Another punk compilation, 16 tracks all from the right era this time with the exception of the NY Dolls track.
Mainly picked this up to get a decent copy of "Holiday in Cambodia" which I only had on tape before.
Nice choice of tracks and probably worth the £3.99 I paid for it.
