This somehow got left off my listening list for 1982, but I'm rectifying that now. Really like it so far.

I listened to this yesterday, it was good. 'Felicity' is a great song.

Beautiful stuff. Prefer the versions of some of these tracks they recorded during their time with Postcard Records (as collected on the fantabulous compilation The Glasgow School) but otherwise it's essential stuff that no discerning indie popper should be without.

This deserves another spin. I remember liking it when I first listed to it...

well i guess i COULDN'T HIDE MY LOVE FOR THIS RECORD FOREVER HAHAHAHAHAHAHseriously though, this album is superb. Has that wonderful chiming guitar sound and that slightly odd but very alluring vocal sound, as well as all the other little elements (the organ, those far too infrequent horns) that all add a bit more brightness to the record. Surprised more bands dont cite these as an influence, considering how much afterwards sounded like them. For me, Falling And Laughing and Tender Object are definitely the standouts.

Jangle/80's Twee at it's finest. It's hard to find something I don't like about this record. Just an absolutely brilliant record perfect for a day like this.

One of my favourite albums of all-time. Great pop sensibilities, some lovely Byrdsian guitars, some banging disco basslines, and a really infectious amateurism that just makes it all so very relatable. When I hear the term 'indie pop', I immediately think back to this record. It's as sunny and as twee as its brilliant cover suggests. Probably their best, though I have a soft spot for their third (The Orange Juice) as well, whilst early singles and demos collection The Glasgow School is indispensable too. 'Falling and Laughing', the Al Green cover, and 'Consolation Prize' in particular are the stand-outs here, but there's not a bum note on the whole record. An album that has had a huge impact on my listening habits, and one that I always look forward to returning to. A ray of sunshine in my record collection.

This is some fine music right here. Not much to say other than really good jangly music. 😄
