It was my first Neil, so I'm biased. But I've since listened to A LOT of Neil and you're absolutely right, he never sounded better. Love how the songs collapse into these extended crash'n'burn scenarios, lots of feedback and scree and tumbling drums, almost jazz-like. I hope he lives forever.

Frogmarched from the shop by security, and every subsequent replacement was more incompetent and unpleasant. Awful company. Deserved to die.

I worked at Smiths in the 90s paying my way through university. Made some great friends and some fond memories but the company was vile - they made much of their experienced store management redundant in the mid-90s in the most brutal way - my first manager, a really lovely, competent guy, was
