HERE COME THE NICE : A Mod Soundtrack

Here's a download of the free CD that came with the May 2011 issue of Uncut magazine. I never buy it as its usually shite, but read the Marriott article in WH Smiths, and I got the CD for 10p at a Car Boot Sale this morning !! Nothing obscure or rare on here but a reasonable compilation all the same.

Manchester City FA Cup 2011

Dedicated to my beloved Club. For all Blues and every player from the 1969 & 2011 Cup Winning Teams. I saw Tony Book (69 Captain, later Manager & current Club President... bottom pic holding the Cup...) by Sale Tesco yesterday morning. A genuine unspoken moment - he spotted my shirt, beamed & we shook hands.

Special mention for the late Neil Young (goalscorer from 1969).

Also for Ska Fan Cheryl Parker - who is singlehandedly keeping the City flame going in North Carolina.

PS I've now almost finished transferring all virus free material off my doomed HDD to a couple of replacements I've scraped together recently. Also been adding stuff from discs that people have been kind enough to post to me. I'm about to start work on the backlog of data discs that people have been very patiently waiting for...please bear with me !!

 As such, here's the first in the latest batch of restored gems from Rodd's Medway collection...
