So that was confusing - Spotify has this album as being from 1998! I remember my cool friend at high school in the late 80s recommending this to me, and I dismissed it as the name was too weird. In my defense, I was also too busy listening to the Clash obsessively... She also suggested Johnny Clegg, who I still love. Anyway, my first time listening! I have the conversation often with my partner - is this album from my youth actually good, it do I just have wonderful memories attached to it? I don't really know where I'm going with this, it's a fine album, and I think if I have it on my rotation it will grow on me. Thanks for the share, always appreciate your writing.

Spotify can tell lies, album released in 1988 - I first heard it in 1990.
