Re: (TV) the mekons rock 'n roll

[Ty Burr <tyburr@mindspring.com>]

This is one of my personal great lost records -- had it on cassette  
back when it came out, never found it on CD, have long since lost the  
tape. I can still hear "Blow Your Tuneless Trumpet" and "Amnesia" in  
my head and can still feel the appalled look on my face when a  
trusted friend gave the album a listen and shrugged it off as some  
lame Brit band singing about "rock and roll." That was it for the  
friendship -- the only time that's happened.

I really have to dig up a used copy somewhere. "Eric Burdon stunned  
in Mississippi on the Animal's U.S. tour "

thanks for the jog Jay.
