Good to hear from another fan.

I have it on vinyl and was suitably excited when a friend (and fellow fan) discovered that it had been released on CD.

Great from start to finish.

I discovered them rather late in life (through an Amazon trail... others who bought X also bought Y) so I tried one...

They were very good, I don't know how I missed them since they were around during my peak record buying/concert going period (i.e. when I was a student) and they were right up my street (JOy Division/Cure/Magazine/Bunnymen/Teardrops etc. etc.).

I think 'From the Lions Mouth' is their best but I heard that first rather than in the order of release so maybe that skews my view a little.

Ah yes indeed. Last year I went on a CD reissue bings as far as The Sound were concerned. Great stuff. From The Lions Mouth is great but I also heartily recommend Jeopardy and Shock Of Daylight. All Fall Down ain't bad either.

It's good to know there's more of us out there.

Yes, that should have read "binge" but Opera seems reluctant to let me send a full reply so I tend to use the quick and, for some reason, then don't check as carefully as I do when I use IE and do full responses.

Sorry, no-one really cares do they?

Bloody thingy - I just succesfully bid (£0.99) for "Heads & Hearts" yesterday.

I quite liked them back in the mid/late eighties. It was only last weekend that I started searching for their records.
