Ashton, Gardner & Dyke - What A Bloody Long Day It’s Been
From 1972 superb guitar from Mick Liber and lovely brass.
Although the band name sounds like a firm of accountants they were seasoned musicians on their third album and with huge hit , "Resurrection Shuffle“ under their belt.

When I was getting into music in the early 70’s there were obsure albums you read about in books but no one had a copy and they were out of print.
This would have been one of them. George’s first solo album.
A nice programme on Radio 4 Extra about the recording of this album at HMV Studios in Bombay.

Going through the 1001 albums you must listen to before you die at the moment and have been given Prodigy The Fat of the Land from this list.
Firestarter was my first introduction to the Prodigy as they were active in the period from my marriage to the birth of the third of 3 children up to this. Although quite up to date with music in the 90s I wasn’t a dancer or rave attender so completely missed this type of music up to about 1997 when it sort of had its mainstream moment.
Only bought Jilted in the noughties (which still took a bit of getting in to for me) and never owned tFotL.
So? Well this is a wonderful album, such energy and verve. So much of it has been assimilated into the mainstream since then that it maybe doesn’t sound quite so so extraordinary but it really is such a tour de force. I don’t give many 5/5, but this is one of those.
