I couldn’t let mention of “What About Us?” as “The only song (that I’m aware of, anyway) that takes its inspiration from the case of Harold Shipman” pass without alerting you to Jonathon King’s, er, unusual “The True Story of Harold Shipman” youtube.com/watch?v=pQnCtaUUSJM

Comment on YMGTA #18 – Extricate by nlgbbbblth https://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/2019/05/26/ymgta-18-extricate/comment-page-1/#comment-794 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 22:52:28 +0000 http://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/?p=255#comment-794 This LP made the Irish indie charts in 1990. The chart was drawn from sales in one or other of Dublin’s two indie shops (Freebird or Comet). It was listed as ERADICATE (Comet chart). Around a year beforehand they had a listing for the Cocteau Twins’ Blue Bell Knoll that referred to The COCKATOO TWINS.

Comment on YMGTA #44 – Postscript: RIP M.E.S. by OJ https://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/2019/12/31/ymgta-44-postscript-rip-m-e-s/comment-page-1/#comment-747 Mon, 10 Feb 2020 20:29:30 +0000 http://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/?p=1319#comment-747 Thank you for all your hard work, Steve.
I’ve been revisiting the Fall since MES left the stage. I was a fan from 1979 and was buying the vinyl for fifteen years. Got to see the various line ups live many times too, then I got too old for mad nights out.
The last two years I’ve listened to the whole body of work, a lot of which I hadn’t heard before, and your comments have guided me along.
Respect for your efforts, this post made me cry again but The N.W.R.A.

Comment on YMGTA #26 – Fall Compilations 1981-98 by Jason Gale https://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/2019/08/03/ymgta-26-fall-compilations-1981-98/comment-page-1/#comment-731 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 09:38:06 +0000 http://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/?p=376#comment-731 Whoa! I don’t know about “a horrendous cable knit sweater”. I’m fairly sure that’s the infamous Armani sweater on the cover of Oswald Defence Lawyer.

“I used to get shit in the press for the Armani jumper I used to wear years ago. It was “If he’s so scruffy why’s he got an Armani jumper?” I bought it in a shop. I saw and liked it… I just thought it was a marvellous jumper and I’ve still got it.” M.E.S. NME, 1992

Comment on YMGTA #17 – Seminal Live by William Ham https://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/2019/05/05/ymgta-17-seminal-live/comment-page-1/#comment-725 Wed, 15 Jan 2020 21:36:42 +0000 http://youmustgetthemall.wordpress.com/?p=247#comment-725 To my eternal surprise, no one anywhere seems to have noticed that “Squid Law” is, in part, an early homage to/ rip-off of the Groundhogs’ “Junkman.” But it’s there, clearly. I suppose the fact that hardly anyone bothers listening to this record at all (while I, in my most monomanically rabid Fallmania phase in ’89-’90, played it an awful lot, so badly was I in need of a regular fix of MES et al) might account for this. But let the record show…!
