Again, I forget what it was that brought this back to mind yesterday, but having watched and listened this morning, this record takes me straight back to the 6th form. Was there ever a better time than the mid to late seventies for brilliant pop? This was 1979: punk, post-punk, new wave, whatever you want to call it.
