As already echoed by others , she curated my musical taste from 84 onwards 7-10 on radio1 and so crucial to the success of The Smiths . Sad News indeed

That is quite lovely.... as someone else said it has a bond theme vibe going on musically .... lyrically not so ( the antithesis of Bond ) .....

Love the smile and look moz gives when they go wild for Al

No .... and no staff discount either ( usually 30%)

Think a few secondary stores are planning on nabbing some from us at retail price to then sell on at a hiked price . Its only 1 per person but if people have the will to travel to other stores they could get multiple copies i suppose ... or multiple people to buy for them

I dont any of our releases have been less than 500 . Moz is 750 , Numan is 500 , Sleaford mods is 500 .... most are 1000 plus i think
