Review by flashtheoriginal Jan 22, 2008

I got this with NME on the day of issue and have kept it as best I can during the ensuing years. Try as I might, I cant get this on CD as a stand alone product. The tape has perished slightly but a mate at work transferred from cassette to CD. The sound quality is poor, but listenable. The musical quality is still there - DAF, early buzzcocks, the special aka when they WERE special, classic Josef K and the stand out track "close to home" by Kilburn and the High Roads. 5000 names of Wah, under Pete Wiley's stewardship still excites me - high octane real music.

If anyone has a good quality copy of this on disc, I will gladly pay for the privilege. I will hold on to my cassette and the flawed digital attempt and nestle in memories of bloody good music spanning ska, soul, poetry, punk and pop. Stunning still.
