New Model Army - No Rest 12'' + Freebie Live 12'' (1985)

I love New Model Army. Always have done. Always will do. As its gone 4 0' clock in the morning and still I cannot sleep,then it seems an appropriate choice of song! Well thats not strictly true as I'm staying awake to watch Chelsea play Inter Milan! The B side (Heroin) is a powerful song and the band are fierce anti-heroin campaigners. When they were on TOTP's with No Rest,singer Justin Sullivan was forced to cover up his T-shirt with tape to hide the message "Only Stupid Bastards Take Heroin" (Well the "Bastard" bit anyway)

Tracks 3,4 & 5 are from the freebie live 12'' which came with the original 12'' and although they are top-notch songs,they aren't top-notch recordings.


Tracks


1) No Rest
2) Heroin
3) Vengeance (Live)
4) No Greater Love (LIve)
5) The Price (Live)

I love New Model Army too, though for some reason my interest seems to die right after Thunder and Consolation (my favourite album of theirs).

Good post.

Tis a great album Jeffen but you are dipping out mate by not listening to their later stuff too. Cheers for your comment.

Only I hope that your team does not humiliate too much the America :(

Cheers

Hi englishfog. We have played very well so far and I can't see us losing to that one (or AC Milan before it) We'll probably win all our pre-season games then lose our first League game to Hull City :-)
