I own most of those and would call it a fun list. Magazine though…..lucky enough to see them when that record came out and McGeochs blistering guitar has me shaking even now, thinking about it.

She’s in charge of the nations finances.
It’s amazing how many of the brightest and the best who run the country are victims of administrative errors that favour their pockets

Bloody good record.
