This is one of the few albums I have owned first on cassette (remember them?), then vinyl, and now CD. It is the album I have probably listened to the most number of times in my life, and listening to it again today it is still every bit as good. I remember all the subtleties, can hum the guitar breaks, everything. And the lyrics are great:
And then you turned to me on the big wheel
and said marry me
I closed my eyes threw my head back and said
what comes next?
I remember listening to it almost daily at the age of 18 on my way to work; periodically through University as new music got in the way; and now occasionally, just to remember just how great it is.
It is fantastic to see Boo is still around (and to see Neil playing recently with David Gray), and now I have found someone else who appreciates this fantastic music, I'm looking forward to seeing him live again soon...
