In contrast to yesterday, this is exactly the type of album the I would onto other people in the late seventies and early eighties. And I do mean it almost literally. In our sixth-form common room in the early eighties myself and a friend monopolised the record deck, much to the chagrin I imagine of our fellow pupils – but we both had large collections of singles and were determined that we would inflict them on others. A Song from Under the Floorboards probably hit a daily play count in double figures most days. That and The Fire Engines’ “Candyskin”, I seem to remember. Must have driven people mental. No wonder we were so popular.
Going to see if I can get a Fire Engines album online now…
