Have to agree, this is a belter of a record. Was with them from the off (two of me old mates at the time were in the band, but had gone by the time of Tender Buttons). The way she sings the line " The long distance runner, has stopped on the corner, but I won't give up, although I've stopped too" always has me playing a little 60's kitchen sink head movie. God I miss em'.
God yes, that is a hell of a line. I think after TB, the B-sides collection The Future Crayon is probably my favourite album of theirs.
