I have been to the site of the road sign on the cover, even though the original was stolen by a Smiths fan soon after the album was released. [First added to this chart: 05/20/2012]

I used to play this album so much when I first met my wife. We used to cuddle up together listening to it on repeat. I used to have a cool record player that could play both sides of an album. You could set it to repeat doing this forever. [First added to this chart: 05/20/2012]

The pastels were the quintessential shambling twee c86 band. Lots of my friends hated them. If only they listened to them properly. Such a great band. [First added to this chart: 05/20/2012]

The cover is great, especially with the sticker over part of the title. This is another great Blast First album. Columbian Necktie is horific! [First added to this chart: 05/20/2012]

Come On Pilgrim is actually my fav for 1987, but it being an EP and all, I had to put it aside :(

UT were a no wave girls band. They have an amazing guitar sound, well for the post-punk fetish I am anyway :)
Opal are a neopsychedelic-dream pop band with the guy from Mazzy Star and Dream Syndicate.
Pleased To Meet Me has awesome tracks Iike "The Ledge" which I never tire of.
