These pink-rim Island UK pressings are fantastic. Great sound, and quiet surface.

Many people are aware of Kimono my house but a lot less are familiar with Propaganda . In many ways it’s equally as good if not better . Never turn your back on Mother Earth is probably more appropriate now than ever . An album full of pace , wit and wisdom that rocks out .
