I hate sax players on rock records, generally. Especially that 80s thing where "New Wave" groups seemed to think it was obligatory, e.g. the terrible re-recording of "Pretty In Pink" for the film of the same name.

Saxophone is far better used on ska records!

..... agreed and Motown of course. And maybe the first Dexy's album. The solo on "Baker Street" drives me crazy though I still like the cut-n-paste solo on Broooooce's "Jugleland". Sax in Punk Rock was always a strange one but I would have to make an exception for Gareth Sagar. The horns on the Graham Parker records are the big downside of his albums for me.

First Dexys album - yay! Actually, the Bureau album was great too, and the stuff they did between Dexy Mark 1 (Searching ...) and Dexy Mark 3 ("...Eileen"), i.e. "Show Me"; "Plan B"; a couple of radio sessions.

Agreed about Gareth Sager too. Possibly also some of the Birthday Party honking, although even that I'm not entirely sure about.
