It is… I’m sorely tempted (if i can smuggle it in and hide it in the shelves somewhere - may have to boot out some ‘meh…OK ish’ records. I can think of a few recent purchases that qualify…)
Great LP

Mrs Dread doing greek night at Dread Mansions, proper greek food, retsina and ouzo…
Opa!
Mmm…love Retsina.
He was his usual grumpy self for a fair percentage of this UK tour.
Retsina AND ouzo - keep the nurofen handy!
An old favourite and a reminder of youthful love ( or was it lust)

‘Black Fire’ is a superb album. The Tone Poet reissue is a must have.
Picked up this one earlier today – a mixed bag. There’s some great mid-80s Damehood with ‘Loving the Alien’, ‘Blue Jean’ and ‘Tumble and Twirl.’ SQ is excellent – but that can’t ameliorate the awful cover of ‘God Only Knows.’
Another classic. It’s on Dynaflex vinyl, which sounds great and a lot better than a lot of ‘new’ vinyl that I have bought recently! Fabulous!
Big fan of the Hartnolls since the ‘green album’ … just brilliant live too.

Finish of the session with a bit more of The Fall. I do like this one, there’s a bit of chill and laid backness about it that I like… but its still The Fall!
