Heard this playing in the kitchen on BBC 6 last night. An old favourite, a kind of anti-Stand By Your Man for the cowpunk generation. Managed to get the album re-released two years ago when I was still in the music industry. The guitarist on the left of the screen passed away from cancer a week before it came out.

And this one's for Glimmer ... I Don't Wanna Get Thin by the Blubbery Hellbellies.

Thanks for the snippet snake, sad to hear about a guy probably my age stamped out by the dreaded C....I remember that era well and recall the band along with the men they couldnt hang etc Also a favourite from that time and a band that didnt get the recognition they desereved imo Any Trouble. Bit corny i know.

And yeah, I remember Any Trouble. That was Clive Gregson wasn't it? They did a new album a couple of years ago on the reactivated Stiff but it tanked I think.

Yes, i think they were always playing second fiddle to Elvis Costello and the Attractions who got all the limelight at that time. Some good stuff on the stiff label around that time Very Happy

Oh, Stiff was an incredible label.

I interviewed most of those involved at the label including Dave Robinson a couple of years back. Not a man to be messed around, is our Dave, but what an A&R spotter - Costello, Nick Lowe, Ian Dury, Madness, the Pogues...

They did indeed, BOAT.

Some people weren't all that happy about the results, but I thought it was good and well worth catching.

The problem is always co-founder Jake Riviera. He's disappeared to America and simply won't talk about stuff, though they did get a few quotes from him in the end. Dave R only does interviews for money...

Oh, and here's a more recent photograph of Penelope from a London gig a couple of years back.
