There's a Baltic shop near us that usually has them, and Lidl's occasional Scandi week. Shouldn't be so hard though!

Also remember seeing the Scream at Brixton and Mani dedicating their set to Arkan, who'd "just been killed by the CIA and MI5". Different times! I mean you don't go to a PS gig for coherent political posturing, and I was particularly unaware in those days, but still.

Not sure if K Shields was on that one, but they played a Crash FM fundraiser at the L2 in Liverpool soon after and he was with them then. ADF were supporting as was the fashion at that time. Mindblowing for this kid from the sticks!

Yeah I saw them a few times around then, and apart from Glasto '97 they were always fantastic. I taped this off the radio and it was constantly on in the car www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmHD...
