Yes, if only they'd killed it in 82 like I did Better Badges :)
I didn't d/l the shows yet, but I just did order and read Rob Young's book
and - in keeping
with parochial POV you decry - one glaring omission that stood right away was
the lack of
any mention of Rough Trade US and it's highly seminal role in releasing
'Blue Monday'
and 'Wanna Buy A Bridge', not to mention thoroughly dousing the west coast in
reggae.
