stuartd··on Original Pirate Material

I probably listen to A Grand Don't Come for Free more then OPM, the impact of Empty Cans in the context of listening to the whole album is huge. Fit But You Know It and Dry Your Eyes are great too, maybe too commercial for some tastes.

Saw The Streets last year at Alexandra Palace! Banging gig..
