PAWN HEARTS

Since my days as a twelve year old listening to this 4 times a night during his first summer of 'realisation', this has remained the high point of the VDGG canon and is still number 1 in the best LPs of all time in this Cumbrian's now thirty-eight year old head.

Dispense with the other buttons.

There should be 2. One for 5 stars, one for asking to be shot. If there is a better delivered line, soul- crooners included, that have more balls and passion that have ever bettered "for if the sky is seeded death what is the point in catching breath? Expel it" let me know. Expel it, indeed.

This album will never let you sit still and you really, really feel that this band can PLAY!

I could talk for the res of my fantastic life about how brilliant this album is, and, let's face it, we all heard different things in our lives, at different times and that is how and why these records affect us. At twelve I was an oddball listening to this whilst the Smurfs and Madness held court, but there are so many sublime moments of keyboards, drums!, SAX and vocals that I am unequivocal in my opinion, and "hope that I'm not dammmmmnnnedd". "I'm just man" now.

Peter and the boys still hold court in my heart. God bless you gentlemen.
