Saw them live a number of times (Van Dike, Plymouth). One of my favourite live bands. Their albums are amongst my most precious, memory-filled possessions. What more can I say....? Thank you for posting.
Without question, in the top 3% of everything on youtube. Greatstamp, thanks for sharing the vid, I never thought I would see a clip of these guys. 5 gold stars.
Man, this is a balm to my soul! My favorite is "Goodnight Batpoem". Both Henri and McGough used to riff on caped crusaders and I love the way they would play off childlike ebullience over against adult cruelty, and pop culture viz formal poesy. It was really really cool.
they are themselves

I had this album years ago until it went missing. This is fantastic, I had no idea this existed. Thanks

No wonder the Beatles ripped them off.
