Thank you so much for uploading. To hear this again is as refreshing as a cool mountain stream…

This upload is a bittersweet waft from a past of mixed fortunes (I won't bore you with the details). I saw this album (Different cover-if the above picture is indeed the cover-it featured what I assume to be Mikel Rouse reclining on a bed as I recall), in Bonaparte Records (later it became Warehouse Records, then a junk shop and last time I saw it, it was boarded up) in King's Cross in 1982, but had no money on me. A short while later, I went all the way back down (up?) to London, and was more than a little miffed to find that they were closed. The shop next door said they were closed on Saturdays (go figure). To make matters worse, on my way back on the train, two youths were gleefully gloating over their successful purchase of the picture disk version of Toya's "Brave New World". Alright for some. A few weeks (or months, I can't remember) later, I returned to the scene of the crime (Well, scene of my intense irritation anyway), on a Friday (I think), and was surprised and delighted in equal measure, to find that not only were they actually open (shrewd business move), but also, they still had the album. All's well that ends well.
