This was the 3rd LP by these now veteran Scottish indie legends.

I was thrilled to acquire this vinyl a couple of weeks ago as a birthday treat to myself. I purchased a CD the album on release in 1998. Now I have the vinyl.

[Ed. Note- Another rex coincidence- he was listening to the LP tonight while out for dinner with DJ Drew in order to select the track for the posting. A text from Group member ZIO arrived advising that B & S will be touring here in May 2024. You can’t make this up…]

My pick ‘Sleep The Clock Around’ is one of my favourite tracks on a brilliant release. Here is the song with biting lyrics.
