It's quite a "grower" isn't it? The man himself went off to a house by the sea in Cork (I think) and wrote, played, arranged, sang and produced everything on it. That's normally a recipe for disaster in my book but it's a gem. Beautiful production and playing.
Vinyl -anything else is data storage.

That's a great album, Fergus. I remember I bought it in Murrays in Dun Laoghaire for about £1.50 way back when. I think it was on a reduced price label, like Pink Floyd's Relics.

A huge influence on the young Peter was Hank Marvin's guitar prowess.I remember my nice Uncle giving me a
copy of the album below - in Mono, natch! - when I was all of 13 years of age. I still have it and I have to say the sound
is unbelievable for it's time. A certain Jimmy Hughes thought so too :-)
