          One of the best LPs of the 1980s. If you haven't bought this, why not?!? Almost certainly their best album, though they've done some great stuff since this one. Superb stuff.

            I had this on cassette back in the day; my abiding memory from the whole album is the amusing lyric:

            Maybe it was over when you chucked me out the Rover at full speed.

            from the track Maybe, Maybe - still brings a smile. ⌣
