European Me was so good that it just eclipsed everything else they did for me.

Damn - it was the SixDotSeven in the what done it! No matter.

:)
At one point I was a 6x7 completist but Olley has put out about 100000 records from his own weird mailing list over the last five years and I only have one of them
Love & Peace & Sympathy, the last 6x7 record proper, really grew on me though

I'll admit to falling by the wayside after The Way I Feel Today. Something about late autumn always sends me back to them.
Will give Love, Peace & Sympathy a go.

oh there have been loads of good things between TWIFT and L&P&S! I might have to resurrect my best-of

04 and If Symptoms Persist... both extremely worthwhile as albums for a start

Would happily take a best of!

They actually did a best-of but mine's way better. Will repost soon

o god okok - but i'll need to find where i wrote it down
― imago, Friday, 11 January 2019 22:11 (five years ago) link
ok found it. this pre-dates Love & Peace & Sympathy and I'd definitely have something from that on here but this was the 80-minute behemoth I came up with
it doesn't have anything from the actual best-of on it, but really only So Close and Catch The Rain would have been on mine - they're a band of deep cuts

Nice one, cheers. A few there I've not heard. Top 5? Mine are probably fairly canonical:

First album is obv alltime and second one is vital Punk Fucken Rock, I have the next few but it seemed like diminishing returns and I bailed at some point and sitting here today have no particular desire to revisit those or check out the EIGHT MILLION albums since. Was it Bowlie Weekender one of youse gave me the "TWO AND A HALF DAYS IN LOVE WITH YOU" badge? I wore that shit for years then handed it off to some Pretty Young Thing who doesn't speak to me anymore. Still wearing that same coat btw and it instead has had a Life Without Buildings badge since whenever and I'm pretty happy with my life choices.
