Another one I should really be playing my vinyl copy of. Sounds fab streaming, though - “I Scare Myself” is his best track in my opinion, sounds great.

For me, this is their best. The CD is as well recorded as any I have heard, too :ok_hand:

Now playing "Magic Reggae".

Thanks to Mike for bringing the LP to my/our attention. I immediately bought a copy from eBay, and it arrived today. In near mint condition , it is the best £6's worth I have had in a long time. :)

Thanks again Mike.

I agree, I did play “Music has the right..” yesterday which is still fabulous in parts, but overall I think Inferno is their best and will become a classic. Check back in 20 years to see if I’m right!

I bought the single "Relax" to see if could reach Number 1. I wanted to see what the BBC would do on their programme 'Top of the Pops' if Relax had reached number one. :D

I played Tomorrow's Harvest earlier and again, very good, but not as good as this.

I think it was Mike Reid who spearheaded the BBC ban on it? Crazy thinking back now that it was thought to be offensive at the time. I too have the 7” single but also the 12” and Two Tribes on 12” - which I remember was epic. I must find time over the weekend to give that a spin on the vinyl rig.
