I bang on about them rather a lot here Martin Stephenson Biography
But just focussing on this record for a moment.
Crocodile Cryer/Louis (Kitchenware - SK25)
It is damn near perfect. The old photo of Martin's grandmother with his Mum as a baby sitting in a field and the line drawing of his grandmother on the front, giving little warning of the tale of relatives who would rather grasp than grieve at a funeral.
Flip it over and listen to Louis. Lightening up the subject matter somewhat as we hear about the cool characters that inhabit a Sunderland cafe in the late 70's and early 80's, and the desperate measures they take to ensure they can afford a cappucino.
Find me a better record. Go on.
