The bands second LP from 1991 is more polished than the debut, unashamedly pop and none the worst for it. A cracking live band too, great fun. Tight as too, Woody from #Madness on drums driving that.

Twister
It's a Dogs Life.
7" from 1997. Just got hold of this to complete the set of 4 singles. 'Yet another disgusting cover from Twister' said John Peel before playing it. They were hysterically near the mark live, and sublime on record.

No More Heroes
The 2nd LP from 1977, followed hot on the tail of their debut, such was the extent of the bands back catalogue following years of gigging. Consistant throughout, there are some real crackers on this. A classic.

The Gift
The final album from 1982. Probably my least favourite of theirs, it points to the direction Weller would be heading with Style Council. Its diversity can't be denied, but there's enough here for us dissenters also.

The debut album from 1993, one of the best records of the 90s. From California, I saw them in New Cross in 1995, absolutely incendiary live. Kim died of MND in 2019, a sad loss of talent at such a young age. RIP. But what a band.

Not originally issued on vinyl, this is a 2020 reissue. And here's one for luck.

Setting Sons
Oh go on then one more. The masterpiece that is their fourth LP from 1979. Doesn't get much better than this. Perfect power pop.

Couldn't resist playing the bands third LP from 1978. The first of their big 3 albums for me. Sometimes, like today, it's my favourite. Fantastic stuff.

This Is The Modern World
The widely criticised second album from 1977. Personally this beats their debut, both in the overall standards of the songs and the more polished production.

A classic slice of #GlamRock from 1974. Proving what a great band they were, despite the chinnichap smear they endured throughout.

Another fantastic review of our football club. This time from someone on their first visit and they totally got it. @uxfc_redarmy, the peoples club.

There's nothing like this at step 3 or above. If you're a football fan in the Hillingdon area, or the wider vicinity, get yourself down to Uxbridge. Quality football, great facilities, with the personal touch. £8 entry, season tickets Just £50. Concessions you won't believe..

Who Cares Wins
The 1990 follow up to their magnificent debut, Tranzophobia. Of which it was always going to be an impossible task to match. Still some great stuff here though from a band that were prolific and incendiary live.

Talk Show
The glossy 3rd album from 1984. Pop it certainly is but the punk roots remain throughout. The band are tight and the harmonies, as ever, are exquisite. @Kathy_Valentine
