Just my humble opinion.<br /><br />Hey Corbypunk do you actually live in Corby as I lived there in the early 70's --80's before moving up to sunny Glasgow.

The point is 1) Its new 2) Poly can't exactly tell you to take it down and 3) Any money made from the album would probably be very handy to her family to pay for her funeral. And that is why I think its bang out of order. Loads of people are posting X-Ray Spex stuff and that is to be expected but this is only £6.99 on itunes. <br /><br />Its only my opinion (for what its worth) and I'm probably being a bit over sensitive but that is the way I feel about it.Longyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168794648430025104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958032598086292056.post-4975919770875771092011-04-27T18:58:07.636+01:002011-04-27T18:58:07.636+01:00I see your point Longy.
