Special mentions for Orbital's "Snivilisation", Lightning Seeds "Jollification", and David Bowie's "EARTHLING".

But really, the 90s had an astonishing number of perfect albums.

oh and Beastie Boys "Hello Nasty".

There's too many of them!

WE DELIVER this powerful high-grade Gramophone, with TEN magnificent 10in Disc Record Selections, 200 Natural Tone Needles in polished compartment case, and all accessories, insured and carriage paid to approved orders for 5/- NOW. The balance payable in nine monthly payments of 5/- if you are entirely satisfied with the machine and records after full examination and test.

Me too! Jollification was the first album I bought with my own money and I’d got their greatest hits on cassette before that. Still listen to them a lot.

#Scotstober supplemental: Randan - an evening soiree, a night on the tiles, a spree, a jollification, a salon, "a couple of pints", painting the town red, on the batter, a roister of epic proportions.

The photograph, Edinburgh Ale by David Octavius Hill & Robert Adamson, 1845. Source: Wikimedia. A sepia photograph of three early Victorian men at a table - a small glass of ale is on the table between them. They look a little worse for wear - the man on the extreme right seems to be sharing an off-colour joke with someone outside the photograph. Robert Chambers describes the drink as: “Younger’s Edinburgh ale – a potent fluid which almost glued the lips of the drinker together, and of which few, therefore, could despatch more than a bottle“.
