The Rotters' Club, but it's close.

Rotters Club is inching ahead. "Ah, yes. Wonderful."

It's Rotters Club, I'm afraid. Packs a punch throughout while the other wanders here and there (sometimes aimlessly). I also think that Dave Stewart is a little more lively on the former, and he's a huge part of Hatfield's sound.

Both. It's impossible for me to choose between these two.

Two of my favorite albums in my collection......I'll go with Rotters. I tend to play it a bit more than the first one.

'as the plastic actresses take off their clothes...' Anyway, I bought 'The Rotters Club' when it was released on the strength of hearing some of it on Alan Freeman's legendary rock show. I still love it - and I love their debut too - subtly different albums. Shame it didn't last.

I've flipped over the years..
for the longest time it was the first.. but now Rotter's Club is my favorite. Of course that is like asking if you prefer blonds with big tits or redheads with cute asses. There is no wrong choice...

It was still difficult but the debut won by the smallest of margins.

Hatfield's s/t introduced me to the Canterbury Scene (if you don't count Golf Girl from Caravan) so it has had a bigger effect on my life then Rotter's. Plus, the experimentation in that album initially drew me in, which I found lacking in the second.

Both excellent albums, with great songs, and I really cannot choose one over the other.

The Rotters, because of Fitter's Stoke (my favorite Hatfield track), Share It and some other stuff.
