Primal Scream - Damaged 1991
This is another band we quite liked in the 90s. This album was September 91. Never saw them live though. We did have a VHS of Screamadelica (as well as the album) which had videos like this one on it. Came with a free badge.
Buzzcocks - What Do I Get? 1978
Such a good record. I remember buying it. I was at printing college in Bristol at the time.

Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm King Cobras - Chicago sessions
This is a great collection that is part blues, part soul, part pop it's very good.
Elastica Waking Up 1995
'Make a cup of tea. Put a record on.' Remember them? We liked them, well our eldest daughter liked them as a teen and we just caught on a bit. On Peel quite a bit. I suppose they were our Britpop band. We certainly didn't like Oasis.
