The one that came after it, Prisoner had this on it:

Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:44 pm I'd quite like to do one of Nick Lowe's first two elpees (Jesus of Cool and/or Labour of Lust). The former I suppose (since I love I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass so much)... He's always come across to me as very charismatic and talented so I'd like to give the whole albums a go.

It also ended with arguably the best song on the album.
Which had an extremely (by these day's standards) dodgy theme and lyrics.

I think I'm getting him confused with that bloke who I get confused with Ted Nugent with, who's name I can't recall.

His albums can be a bit heavy going though.
A genuine case of 'too talented' for his own good...
