From age 14 on, Cupid and Psyche '85 has been truly one of my favorite albums. ❤️ It's a masterpiece!

I met Robert Wyatt in Superdrug in Louth about 5 minutes after standing over the International Date Line. He was by the cold cures and I said 'Is it Robert?' His eyes lit up and I told him I appreciated some of his music. His partner rolled her eyes whilst we discussed music for a short time. Nice chap.

The ironic thing here now is most of Scritti's back catalog is now licensed to Rough Trade. So all those big albums like "Cupid..." and "Provision" that were once owned by the majors have now found a new home. So the small label ended up winning after all.

I grew up in Camden, we always wanted to know what you guys always wanted around there all the time. Thing is that lots of people go to Camden to act all weird like they can't in whatever nightmare inbred conformist province they come from, then everyone thinks that Camden is a great place to come and piss in people's doorways, or give it the big one in the Lock Tavern, like the Gallaghers, when people are just trying to have a pint in their local. We ignored him by the way, the twat. Camden, where even the tramps roadied for Pink Floyd that time in the Roundhouse in 1977.

Hi Scritti Politti, I still think you could come to Australia and make some money. What you maybe don't realise is Australia loved a lot of music before other countries did, like ABBA. I think if you came out here, 80's fans would come out of the woodwork and you would have a fantastic time :)

I had no awareness of Scritti Politti until they did that collab with Mos Def which i think was the advent of the 90s. Seeing this vid, the only thing that comes to mind is that episode of Only Fools & Horses with Bunch Of Wallies if anyone catches my drift. Were they parodying Scritti??!? Amazing. Wow i hear they collabed with Troutman & Miles Davies in the 80s! Insane. OK I got some catching up to do with these guys. Brilliant.
