RIP Craig. He was such a lovely person. In 2012 me and a friend booked a The Smiths based Manchester tour with him and it was much more than just about The Smiths. It was basically a complete Manchester tour while he drove us around in his car and showed us the best places to see, where to eat, where to drink and which places to visit outside of Manchester. We hooked up again the next day and he also put us on a guest list of a club. I still have his signed Manchester Music Tours book which I hold dearly.

In my youth Had someone told me What would come And how things would be Then those days would've been a much brighter place But the doubt of not knowing Leaves a stigma that is hard to shake To celebrate our bond [I'm gonna build a monument] I'll cut the stone today [On the side of a mountain] Where all my doubts once lay [The biggest mountain] One thing I can gaurantee Is what you've done means everything to me Waking Monday Reading Saturday's news In a town I've not seen before Curious Small and ugly room I can't find the door and everywhere There's faces smiling at me To celebrate our bond [I'm gonna build a monument] I'll cut the stone today [On the side of a mountain] Where all my doubts once lay [The biggest mountain] One thing I can gaurantee Is what you've done means everything to me In my youth Had someone told me What would come And how things would be Then those days would've been a much brighter place And the doubts of not knowing Leaves a stigma that is hard to shake To celebrate our bond [I'm gonna build a monument] I'll cut the stone today [On the side of a mountain] Where all my doubts once lay [The biggest mountain] One thing I can gaurantee Is what you've done means everything to me To celebrate our bond [I'm gonna build a monument] I'll cut the stone today [On the side of a mountain] Where all my doubts once lay [The biggest mountain] One thing I can gaurantee Is what you've done means everything to me To celebrate our bond [I'm gonna build a monument] I'll cut the stone today [On the side of a mountain] Where all my doubts once lay [The biggest mountain] One thing I can gaurantee Is what you've done means everything to me Everything to me Everything to me

I had this on vinyl, it had Biggest Mountain, I'll Keep it in Mind and Weakness (aka W.E.A.K.N.E.S.....S!) and I went and sold it FFS. It's my most missed record, even more than all my Stone Roses one's. To me Inspiral Carpets were right up there with the Stone Roses and they were completely under-rated and kind of eclipsed by the Roses. Fucking great band!

Inspirals music was streets ahead of the Roses, Charletans and Mondays (although all 3 were good bands). They never got the recognition they deserved due to not releasing their best tunes as singles.

Fair enough, point taken although I still think the Inspirals were (are) way better, streets ahead was perhaps an exageration. The singles bit was a reference to the Inspiral Carpets, not to the Roses.
