  1. First up, ta muchly, circle, for the upgrade to FLAC!

    Re "12. I Fled (no it's not, surely?)", 'fraid so: Hard 1983 Track 2 "I Fled" – 3:54. Almost as bad as the Human League or Ultravox had become by this time, nowhere near as good as Jah Wobble live at the time, or Dave Allen and Shriekback who were doing more interesting "disco dubs" than the rump of the Gang of Four - search for Shriekback at floppybootstomp-ii.blogspot.com. Just an opinion ...

    Cheers and ta muchly, Dave Sez.
