this looks really cool, very intriguing selection of tracks

I would have included “good ships” over “93 million miles” personally

Ha I did not see that particular Clash record making it, great anecdotes about Shake Appeal and the Swervies first US gig

Love that Bob Mould was an early fan, makes a lot of sense

Ned,
On slide 14, the italics after "The Book Lovers EP" are not closed and continue for the remainder of the entry.

The riffs on ‘Sons of Mustang Ford’ are so great. That whole first Cd is ace.

First two albums including their B-sides are perfect, great stuff.

Proud to say I played Son of a Mustang Ford and Rave Down a lot when Raise came out in the US, on my late night show on an AM carrier current college radio station to like five people.

First 2 albums are classic, but I think Ejector Seat and 99th Dream are also really good.

I absolutely love Raise (and the early EPs) but I could never get into anything on Mezcal Head except "Duel" & "Duress" and I tried some of the records after that and they were not my thing. I feel like I may be an outlier Swervedriver fan.

"Last Train to Satansville" is aces and another excellent B-side also from the second album set:

"Scrawl & Scream" was available on the Reel to Real EP that was released pre-Raise (summer 1991?) iirc.
"Last Train To Satansville" is 100% not for me.

I love all of it, but am an outlier insofar as I find the first one the hardest to get into.

Digging this Bolts of Melody album, but such a tease to bring in Besnard Lakes for such a brief appearance!
