Still waiting for the Great Leap Forward. Music is my main love. Well music, food, the dog, photography, whisky….did I mention food?
Just wonderful. One of my favourite albums. I guess that has the various different mixes on it?

One of my favourite albums. Not sure if I prefer the Boxed mix to the original. I need to get one of those smart cleaners and tackle my back catalogue though!!!

Oddly I was playing this just earlier, it’s a cracking record…here’s an interesting article on the history of *that* rhythm..I was obsessed with Ring the Alarm for a while in the 80s, I have a 12” somewhere of it I picked up in Smelly Alley in years gone by.

Newly reissued to mark its 40th birthday, ‘Ring The Alarm’ continues to rattle speaker boxers. Wrongtom charts the history of its Stalag rhythm, from overlooked origins in the early 1970s to Tenor Saw’s 1985 masterpiece and beyond

I stumbled across this and thought of you…it’s basically a cover version of Paranoid but with the lyrics changed to tell the story of Hound of the Baskervilles. Warning: video contains scary dog…🤣
