Yellow and Blue was marked down to #1.99 in a record shop on Stow Hill, Newport, along with Dragnet, not that long after they'd been released in '78, or whenever. I think that was the day I looked wistfully at the 12-inch of Mannequin and passed it over (being skint and 12-inch singles being a real luxury), but it might well not have been. Anyway, the guy at the till remarked to his colleague that Dragnet ought not to have been reduced in price - clearly he didn't mind that Y&B was being sold off cheaply. I suppose the going rate for LPs at that time was about 3.40gbp - the first time I paid more than 4gbp was for the first Banshees LP. It really hurt when that one picked up a scratch! I found Deceit being sold off cheaply in a shop in St Austell not long before I moved from Cornwall in the early '80s. Having no idea that TH had released a second album it was a real treat. I think I found H&E in a second-hand record shop in Bristol (below St James Barton roundabout and now closed, like the Newport shop) and couldn't get on with it. I certainly sold it to them with some other stuff... anyway, a few weeks later I saw it in their bargain bin for five pence and bought it back. Did I get a strange look from the guy on the till! The ebayers of today won't have memories like that, will they (and will they care? Nope!)...

SPQR is one of the best songs I've heard in ages. It's certainly a better album than the first one, which I used to own on vinyl and never got on with - which is still what's making me think twice about splashing out on the box set - well, that and the money issue.

(partly owing to the fact that I haven't been able to play my vinyl version for the best part of a decade). Anyone wanting to give vinyl copies of Yellow and Blue/Deceit/Health and Efficiency a good home should email me before I put them on ebay at some point. Fall of Saigon from Yellow and Blue would be a good starting point for downloaders, I'd say.

I paid 40 english pounds for it...not sure what the exchange rate is, but as a CD is ten pounds that seemed ok for 6 remastered cds and a book. Get on Soulseek and download some This Heat for free and then buy the box set if you like what you hear...although I think most fans of Wire would appreciate most of their 2nd Lp 'Deceit' ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
