nothing here that hasn't circulated previously, but a cool way to approach the pre-Crazy Rhythms years:

I was dancing round the shop when I found the Stiff "Crazy Rhythms" in our local Oxfam for £2, early last year.

I think of this record sort of like Wire's Pink Flag - an atypical debut whose style they never exactly returned to.
I saw them opening for Lou Reed in 1989, and if they were not the best band I've ever seen live, they were certainly the best whose music I didn't know before seeing them. They covered "Dancing Barefoot" as someone mentioned above, and either said nothing or no more than "thanks" to the audience.
