Remember happily spending around £40 on the likes of Green River and The Vaselines when up in Belfast at a Queen' Open Day. Admittedly, 5 years later it was indeed a hole - fulll of second hand Mega City 4 and Thousand Yard Stare records. Honorable mention for Dr. Roberts.

All I can remember by Leather Nun was some 'hilarious' (sic) Abba cover version... Thank you also by multiplying by a factor of ten the number of people finding this post through Google by citing their name :-) Alex Chilton - yep, for all his obvious talents, his solo career is/was a bit of a carcrash alright. At least we've got Big Star... And Hugh, you were ahead of us all on the Scandinavians then ?

Class is a social relation, not a lexical straitjacket. Although, it's true that some people see it that way.

It was indeed that. I remember making my first 'pilgrimage' to the place as a teenager thinking that it was going to be some sort of cool record heaven and coming back with all sorts of crap: a Leather Nun BBC Sessions LP (shudder, no idea why), an Alex Chilton EP called No Sex (dreadful).
