There's a fair few who like "plodding, shuffling shit like Larry Houston Pete - myself included.
A decent record is a decent record - no matter when it was released. As I know you agree - there was loads of hundred mile an hour sixties fookin shite, pop shite, and of course the overplayed shite.
Modern may have ruined it for you personally Pete - I accept that. But it didn't ruin the scene for good per se.
