Released this day in 1980 , Sound Affects by The Jam. We couldn’t really afford records at the time. I’d go round to friend Brian Murphy’s where we’d listen to his big brother’s copy obsessively.

Here’s a glorious rendition of Hamish Henderson’s “Freedom Come-All-Ye”, sung by Karine Polwart in the Italian Chapel, Orkney. The chapel was built & decorated by Italian POWs during WW2 using scraps & reclaimed materials, & is still in use today

The Bluesky/X relationship feels like if in 1985, when Coca-Cola introduced the new disastrous New Coke, another company had taken over the classic formula while Coca-Cola doubled down on New Coke and kept adding things like piss and cholera
