Pete Shelley's Homosapien LP - classic or dud?

Didn't even occur to me that I was playing the Buzzcocks at the dinner table just a couple of weeks ago, because they're awesome

Yeah, I dug out the "Product" box about a month ago, and had the "Operator's Manual" cd in the car.

Oh, and..

. Sounds like one of those guys, like George Michael, whose generosity of spirit and the affection felt for him only becomes widely known after their passing.

Actually, so many people had said what a nice bloke Pete was over a long period, generous to other bands even back then - along with Johnny Clarke.

better than "homo superior-ah in my interior-ah"

I had never seen the video for “Homosapien” before. I like how they went out of their way to place Pete inside the most interior looking of all interiors (hey, and it’s obviously his, he wears matching clothes!). Can’t decide whether this was supreme irony or a way of providing plausible deniability, or a combination of both.
