Can I play too please?

It's an unexplained mystery why Asda chose this tautlogical phrase to be carved in rock outside their stores; "Permanently low prices forever". Grrrrr!

Meanwhile, the first page of this thread from a parallel universe... http://www.gizoogle.net/tranzizzle.php?search=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.northstandchat.com%2Fshowthread.php%3F282823-Indietracks-Festival-all-things-C86-and-indiepop%21&se=Go+Git+Dis+Shiznit I had genuine LOL moments reading that.

I had the original version of that along with the CD, but I had to sell it on eBay when Peelie died cos I was skint and had just become unemployed. I got £92.50 for it which was quite a result.

The most expensive copy yet? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-SEA-URCHINS-Pristine-Christine-UK-7-in-picture-sleeve-poster-Sarah-1-/291057311449?pt=UK_Records&hash=item43c45e1ed9

Funnily enough, when I worked at Virgin in Western Road, a punter (surprisingly) asked for a copy of the new Del Amitri album. I knew I'd ordered three copies but couldn't find 'em anywhere. Turned out the young cash assistant had filed them under 'A' because "we always file them by surname...

It's all down to the pilot, you wait and see ;o)

Yeah, I paid £4 for the limited edition of 45 copies (:lolol:) cassette of 'The Single Collection' and got the download code immediately. It really is utterly ace.

"Spunk and tenacity shall be saluted with a brace of pure-pop gems from across the Atlantic, one of which will be a sweet-sounding yet slightly mocking swipe at the 'holier than thou' indie ethic which will be prevalent in 40 years." Uncanny.

As advocated in the Topical Times Football Book 1973; "a welcome 2 - 0 away win should be celebrated by dancing around the room, arms flailing unashamedly, to a wonderfully fuzzy, noisy, melodic, poppy song full of broken heartedness and angst". Happy to oblige...

That's the one! Good work Staly. That picture always make me chuckle.

Yeah, there was that one, and also kangaroos on the back of the Rigour 7". But I'm sure there was another one with a photo of a reclining kangaroo with it's tackle out, looking like a porn star posing louchely. (Getting some rather bizarre Google search results!) Maybe it wasn't Big Flame, but...

This is rather good too... Was it Big Flame who had kangaroos on the cover of 2 or 3 of their singles? Or is that something else I've 'misremembered'?

The Guardian have been discussing C86... http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2014/mar/14/c86-myths-nme-indie-cassette-debunked

Early Weddoes, Popguns and The Fireworks; that's quite some pedigree.

Apologies - just goes to show how something you believe *might* be the case years ago becomes fact after a while. I think I read the name at the time and put two and two together a couple of years later and got sixty-three. I shall go and transcribe Gary Barlow lyrics for the next four hours...

Hurricane #1. Utterly dreadful and then The Sun went and used one of their songs in a TV advert. Desperate times.

That'd be the chappie from Felt and Denim.
