Buy the first one first. Preferably, buy both at the same time. They are both indispensable. |

Get or listen to the debut first. It's the most consistent of the two & serves as the best introduction to the Northettes who also worked with National Health. ...THEN go for Rotter's Club. Mumps has some of the best moments in all of the Canterbury Scene!

Barely a gnat's whisker between 'em, but I'd start with the debut and proceed to Rotters Club immediately afterwards. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

| The Rotters' Club one of the best canterbury albums ever made, entertaining, chalenging and full of good pieces, aswell one of my fav albums ever, so go for that one. |

i bought the rotter's club first. it was just a revelation, these places i had no idea music could go. eventually though i decided the first one is the best (not only the best Hatfield record, but the best record ever). i should say that the first one is the more difficult of the 2 |

I chose Rotter's Club to even the vote out a bit, but I agree with those who say get both. They're of equal excellence in my opinion.

Have to agree with all the previous posters, and urge you to get both at the same time. I got The Rotters' Club first, and then went on to the debut... They are both great, and get regular listens from Micky and I, but I tend to lean slightly towards TRC, while my hubby prefers the debut. Personally, I find TRC somewhat more complete, and opener "Share It" is one of the most infectious tunes I've ever heard - and puts you in a good mood too !

Can't add much to the above - get 'em both at the same time if you can afford it ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

I prefer The Rotters' Club. But start with the first album anyway, that will make The Rotters' Club sound even better when you buy it. |

Both are very good, and I like Rotter's just a tiny little bit better. But since they're both special: start with the first one and then move to the second, or buy them both at the same time. |

I prefer the debut by a hair, but you really can't go wrong with either of them. -------------

| I had to go listen to both albums back to back, then revisit the poll to vote. Rotter's Club ftw! |

They are both exceptional, start with debut! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |
