Get Carter

For anyone wishing to explore the music of Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, or Carter USM to their friends, as a starting point I would recommend 1995's Straw Donkey - The Singles.
It features 15 of their singles and every one is a cracker.
The two featured here are The Only Living Boy in New Cross, Fruitbat and Jim Bob's biggest hit and I would argue their finest hour.Not to be confused with Simon and Garfunkel's Only Living Boy in New York!
Second up is The Young offender's mum - not necessarily because in is the second best song on the album - more because it has the best title!
A fun band who produced some top tunes

  1. I wouldd agree that Only Living Boy was their finest moment along with Sheriff Fatman
