I'd like to have a copy of that single, but I'm not paying anything like the asking price. <br /><br />I read somewhere recently, the view that buying records these days is as irrelevant to music appreciation as stamp collecting is to posting your Christmas cards. It's a view I agree with as the market is ever increasingly about attracting collectors and not folk who want to listen.

It pales next to the debut, Give Em Enough Rope and London Calling.<br />But it's the last proper work of the band, and is still better than Cut The Crap. When it's good it's very good, but it's a bit 50/50 (maybe 60/40).<br />Other opinions are available (but they may not be correct)Rigid Digithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757290844359368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-38650607351799214162022-05-17T15:58:37.289+01:002022-05-17T15:58:37.289+01:00Swede sums it up for me.

Even more irritating was the lack of an anniversary issue for Sandinista! a couple of years ago. Swiss Adam and I are still pretty darned miffed by that.
