It was me who sent them it! Check out PHs 'Grand Hotel' - my favourite album by the band. I got around to this album at last yesterday and wow - haven't stopped listening to it since! 😁 Every song is an earworm (my particular favourites are the title track, "A Souvenir Of London", "Fires ( That Burn Brightly)" and "Robert's Box") and a lot of them sound a decade ahead of their time. I think it may just be my favourite album of theirs now as well! ☺ It's a magnificent album, very classy - even 'Souvenir' complete with banjo, spoons and sexually-transmitted infection subject matter! 🤣 My two favourites from the album are TV Caesar and For Liquorice John. It's worth getting the recent Esoteric Recordings 'expanded edition' which features extra tracks as well as a DVD of a live performance of many of the Grand Hotel tracks. It also has a great booklet and reproduction of the lyric/artwork insert which came with the original vinyl. I'd also recommend the follow up Exotic Birds and Fruit as well as their three most recent albums, from early 90s, early 00s and 2017, respectively - The Prodigal Stranger, The Well's On Fire and Novum.
