Great debut album with some outstanding tracks. Very mature album for a band which was pretty raw at the time but had been honed their craft on, amongst others, some of London's great pub and small club venues like the Hope & Anchor.

Still holds up well to this day

Love the story behind Sultans of Swing, inspired by watching a hopeless jazz band in a nearly empty pub. Great album which I revisit often.
