The long tail finally snaps at something I’m interested in and have been looking for: music from the late 70s / early 80s mod revival.
The Lambrettas, The Creation, The Purple Hearts: a treasure trove can be found at The Songs That People Sing.
Enjoy.

“Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made.

Alcuin, Letter to Ethelred, King of Northumbria
