Ah the old homestead. I spent my crucial years (those between the ages 6-25) in ye old shit hole East Sheen. Yes that cruel chorus " East Sheen's a dirty shit hole, East Sheen we're going to burn it down" often reverberated around my bedroom. Late one night after coming back from a Marc And The Mambas gig East Sheen was indeed ablaze. Not the entire suburb but the wood merchants at the bottom of my road. I leaned out of my bedroom window and took a photo. No one thought to question the members of O Level despite the arsonist tendencies East Sheen bestirred within them. It wasn't a shit hole, just a dull suburb where the middle classes amassed against the lower life forms of Roehampton and Mortlake. We were better than them, we had a Waitrose. Oh what a day of celebration it was when Waitrose came to town. But anyway......East Sheen by O Level sells for an astonishing £132.

And to think I used to have this single and THREW AWAY the sleeve cos it was so stained from the sellotape that was used to keep it together. I didn't realise that they were all like that!!! D'oh! I think I eventually sold the record, sans sleeve, for £2...
PS Great Northern Portrait gig at the Buffalo Bar the other night...
Never throw anything away! £2without a sleeve is a bargain.
I must get the new Northern Portrait LP. Saw them at Indietracks last year.
