Hey Fellas,

Wow I love this album!
I was just trying to arrange for the cover to be put on a proper shirt? FOR DISPLAY!
This is a magic album with the magnificence of the parity with the works of the Beatles which I did say to you outside that gig your band played in Hamburg Germany 1988. I told you if'n John Peel did not have his head so far up his ass he would have understood this wonderful album.
the cover is just the push over the edge chance meeting with fate it require.
Again, Absolute magnificent work fellas from Falling in love my wife sometimes hums along to. Hey she never asks me of the song names but this one just stuck in her head. Thanks for that.
And Buffalo shame is glorious details of the Upper Canada foray into the wild west!

Too bad John Peel was such a fucking asshole..You guys were my favourite band of the 8o's I can';t believe what I am reading here. Duffus from Bremen?! Just another really another mother F'n Peel guy cut out Hey..just peel em off and roll!
Now where to get some one to print off a shirt for me? During this Chinese - Covid 19 pandemic?

Did you guys ever sell shirts like this?

Warmest Regards,

When I bought this vinyl, I was expecting more of the same from the first 4 albums. I think the only reference to drinking was your"waking up each morning in a new hotel, trying to make it to breakfast, & sometimes doing quite well." Well Pat, sometimes even the best laid plans go wrong, & I will meet you on that corner with another pair of sunglasses on. I was originally disappointed, and considered it your "Country" album. But as you said, the best for last, Angels. I wore that track out. Overall, it is a good album. And if you're into ranking systems (not me - ,mine is 0-1, no or yes, this is a yes) I guess you pick one album to be the best, and one the worst. I say screw thta, and yes your bass playing on South America (Gift of Music volume 2 for me)

I think music is good, it's only our tastes that differ. Thanks for the background on its recording, signing all my vinyl/cd;s, and being so nice to me and my mom.

Now it's time to put the lotion in the basket,.................. and type screwball

Was playing my first pressing
Brit in Port was looking for list of people on inner sleeve
And came across Pat's thoughts about the lp! Well we must thank him for getting it so wrong to him self,we looking at the other coments were the better for it.A beautiful lush cheeky at times yes but a wonderful vynil from the 80's

Mystified by Pat's evaluation of the album

This was my first JBC record, and I still consider it their best. It is definitely one of my desert island records.

Still a favorite

Loved this album upon its release, haven't stopped loving it since. The only thing that changes is my favorite song on it, which is typically the one that is playing at the moment. Carried away on waves of digital reverb.

I love this record.

I don't understand why you're so down on it. It's the crowning achievement of the Max era.

I bought this record in '88 and it really impressed on me a moment in time that is still there (me mind). I want to thank all the butchers for creating some
of the greatest music i'll always enjoy! Illuminate is also very good.

I came upon Distressed Gentlefolk years ago in cassette form and bought it without having any idea of what it was. I am glad I did. It is one of my favourite albums of all time, and my children, who were small then, loved it too, especially Domesticated Animals. My eldest daughter, who is very fond of pizza, thought one song was about a Pizza Lorry not Peter Lorre.
Tragically it is now worn out and I would dearly love to be able to get hold of a CD copy. I also have Fishcotheque on cassette which is also in a bad way. I have never come across any of the other albums.

This is one of about 30 vinyl records that I actually hauled cross-country, since it's really indispensable IMHO. Back in the day (1988?) I worked out the chords to Nothing Special & would perplex people with my rendition...
