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.

YMR | The Ants | "It Doesn't Matter" 1978

 Song they did when I first saw them in 78. 

Buzzcocks - What Do I Get? 1978

 Such a good record. I remember buying it. I was at printing college in Bristol at the time.

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.
