From the sleeve notes:

A love affair with Northampton is a journey into space.
Northampton has had many love affairs. After all, it is like a human being, having evolved, matured and developed its character with passing years. Succeeding generations of lovers have established its importance, traditions, employment, social, recreational and cultural amenities and a strong sense of community. Experience has proved how necessary these qualities of life are.
But, of course, these qualities take generations to mature. In Northampton we are fortunate. We are able to harness all the advantages of an historic and well established town of regional importance, with those of an expanding town and major growth point, providing new opportunities for a total population of 180,000 by 1990.
Add to this - Northampton's location, little more than 60 miles from London, on the M1 motorway with 50% of Britain's industry and 57% of its population within a 100 mile radius; the immediate availability of factories, offices or sites; a workforce of some 87,000; a wide choice of homes to rent or buy - and it's easy to see how love affairs begin...

  • Maybe Luton, Milton Keynes and Dudley should have songs too?

    Like Northampton, they are each big towns without city status...

  • I would have thought Milton Keynes was ideal....
