The Mekons! What a brilliant band. I own this on LP and ltd ed CD - great stuff. I love the Peel Sessions you've been posting too. Do you have The Mekons session with English White Boy Engineer (later a Three Johns track)? I also thought you might be interested in the book I'm currently putting together. Check out my blog http://festivefiftyillustrated.blogspot.com/ and, if you like it, please spread the word and add me to your links.
I never knew English White Boy Engineer was originally a Mekons song, always thought it was a Three Johns track (though of course it is hardly a surprise given the member cross-over) - My second favourite Three Johns song behind Death of a European - they were such an incredible live band, saw them more than few times in the early-mid eighties.
