NEVER EVER underestimate the importance of a groove and a cowbell. #Rovers
Back then the charts were decided with scans into a Gallup

The reps used to bung us the vinyl we wanted, in return for the over-scanning of what they wanted to happen. In 1991 I got all the XL releases on white label for over scanning Bryan Adams 😀

Yeah 90, I was working for Our Price, in Blackburn of all places 😀 I blagged it off a rep. OP was a big chain but they did let us stock up on the classics as it was going off in Boomtown Blackburn.

Superb album, product of my youth, never saw them at the time. Saw them in 2017 in a small venue Preston and thought why is this only 1/2 sold out. 1st album also excellent

Yeah, you’re all in one Computer Desktop shop. Just as every family needed a PC. You got extra ££ if you sold an “expert” support package that didn’t really exist. Good grift. That bit when the internet went into homes. Easy money really as nobody had a clue at the time, including me.

Totally agree, was the Jive Bunny of that amazing scene, Sheffield’s dark secret

Love that, you’d have needed a few ‘burner’ phones to get Tugay to Rovers so fully onboard with that. Souness days were brilliant, quite rightly honoured this week, the charity work he does is quite something. I have also seen stuff where he regrets jumping ship to Newcastle. Top bloke

Whilst you’re on that tip, this was a game changing compilation for me, as I mixed on my futuristic belt drive set up 😀
