Re: This Is England lyrics
I've had the standard edition for years and wasn't aware of a deluxe edition until this post so again thanks Kory. I've just ordered a copy. If you can't find a copy at a decent price and require an upload then just PM me. Although I know like me you prefer the physical copy.Kory wrote: ↑17 Aug 2017, 8:03pmMe too, I've been trying to find a decently priced copy of the deluxe edition.Marky Dread wrote: ↑17 Aug 2017, 5:06pmHandsworth Revoloution is a real favourite of mine.Kory wrote: ↑17 Aug 2017, 4:17pmI've been digging UK reggae almost more than Jamaican lately.

Re: This Is England lyrics
When I worked in the local record shop it was back in the day when the pub would shut between 3pm and 5pm.
The heavy metal wankers would come in and ask me to play all sorts of shit that I refused to play but there was one particularly nasty guy ( I was only 14 when I started there and these were grown men) who alsways wanted me to play Status Quo!!!
I worked out that if I played Black Uhuru on full volume they would stay well clear

Re: This Is England lyrics
Thanks for the offer, but you are correct! I did support the documentary that's coming out soon, and one of the rewards was a flash drive full of unreleased tracks. Would you like a copy of those? I've also got all the Peel Sessions, but they're strangely one track per session—the songs aren't split up.Marky Dread wrote: ↑17 Aug 2017, 11:08pmI've had the standard edition for years and wasn't aware of a deluxe edition until this post so again thanks Kory.

If it's not too much trouble, guys, I would like this stuff, too, plus the album -- Handsworth Revolution was always my favorite Steel Pulse song. Which, like a lot of stuff from that era, seems more timely than ever today. SP don't seem to get mentioned a lot in all those official histories, which has always surprised me.Yes please mate.

Thanks, Marky, you may fire when ready, as the saying goes ...No problem Ralph once it arrives in the post I'll sort it for you.
Another quickie ancedote: I was transcribing comments from a Corbyn rally a couple months back, and what are they playing in the background? Handsworth Revolution. Need we say more?

I just sent the files to Marky to be split up—I'm sure you'd rather have them that way!
