Hopefully anybody that has a rudimentary knowledge of the EC 'legacy edition' albums will be taking note and checking out some of those 80's classics.
Downloading some of the samplers btw  |
Well, my point wasn't that
My Aim Is True and
This Year's Model are at all not worthy of attention - they're very highly rated and rightly so. But the thing is a lot of people I've talked to stop there with the discography, when there are three absolute masterpieces and plenty of other truly great albums which don't get talked about half as much. I've done my bit here when it comes to bigging them up though (still gonna go through the rest of the albums with a fine-tooth comb though).
Good lad for sampling the samplers btw
