Ash - Goldfinger


















I was listening to 1977, the Ash album from several years ago, just recently. Why oh why oh why don't people just stop putting songs on LPs when they run out of good ones? Just stop. If it's 35 minutes long, so be it. Those last couple of songs... Ugh. It's the same with films - they don't need to be three hours long to be good, you can do it in an hour and a half.

Anyway.

The a-side is one of the great tracks off this LP, among quite a few others. Especially Kung Fu, which had a photo on the cover of Eric Cantona kicking that guy in the Crystal Palace crowd back in the early 90s. And Girl From Mars, which is just brilliant. Their cover of 'Get Ready' at track four of this CD is superb - I think I bought the single for that alone. You'll love it, just love it.
