This week, we have a little compilation of tough tunes from people to whom feel meant a lot more than polish. That’s not to say these tracks sound bad, more that energy and fun and urgency took priority over 100 takes and painstaking overdubs. Some you’ll know, hopefully not ruined by the modern beast that is ‘trendy’ advert sound-tracking, some you might think you know, and some will hopefully be new, there’s a whole world of this stuff out there and if it’s your cup of tea you’ll probably know about the comprehensive ‘Nuggets’ compilations that span the decades and the globe, if you don’t, then that’s your next stop !
