V.A. From Hell To Obscurity (1989)



And now for something completely different. Not my album as it happens but my mate who wanted this ripped so I thought you lot might like it (or not)

There you go Gareth, your album is now famous! Gareth wanted this ripped so he could have Phillip Chevron (Radiators From Space,Pogues) on his ipod. Well I had to listen to all of it you bastard! To be fair some of it is not too bad but it depends on your tastes (and mood) A bit of blues, new wave and good ole rock'n'roll and a fair dose of depressing misery named Loudon Wainwright III. Eleven of the 16 songs are actually B sides while the rest are.....you've guessed it, A sides. If that doesn't sound particulary interesting, its because its not!
