Got No Room for Ravers


Samples Small Faces's "Lazy Sunday"! 

From the bit about how his grumpy dried-up-prune neighbours "make it very clear they've got no room for ravers"


Features the phrase "mustn't grumble" - the soul of Englishness (pre-ravers, at any rate) quintessenced

There is also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it  comb-and-paper quotation of a Stones song - "Satisfaction" it says at Wikipedia, although it sounds almost more like "Let's Spend the Night Together" to me

I should have put "Lazy Sunday" in my list of Greatest Number Two

The album as a whole I've never quite clicked with except for the opening title track with its amazing colorized bass and phased drums and keyboards.


And of course enjoy the Stanley Unwin element




Got this album
