5.0 out of 5 stars The grit hits the fan!, 2 May 2002

By A Customer

This is an album of prophetic genius.
"Chickentown", with its barely concealed undercurrent of restive urban violence, sits up there with some of the "Jam's" early vitriol.
"Conditional discharge", with its seemingly humourous lyrics, is a poignant preamble to the AIDS epidemic.
JCC's picture of sheer hopelessness and despair in the gritty, no holds barred "Beasley Street"
underlines the the caustic spite about to be poured on ordinary, working class people in the rampant, right-wing eighties of Thatcherism.

JCC had 'em all sussed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Street poetry at it's best. The man is a genius., 27 Jan 2000

By A Customer

Having heard the LP version back in the late eighties, I was well and truly hooked. From the opening violence of Chickentown to the wonderfully depressing view of life on a back street of Manchester that is Beasley Street, Clarke's penetrating and disturbingly accurate portrayal of everyday life can be both alarming and humorous. Once you have played it, you will not only never forget it, you will always find it near the top of your collection. A classic album from the North's greatest streetpoet.

5.0 out of 5 stars punk poet at his best, 13 April 2004

By	mandynolan "mandynolan" - See all my reviews

this is probably his best cd and its well worth buying....i have seen him live and he is funny and charming....this cd is powerful and reminds us of the late 70's and early 80's feelings of despair in thatcherite Britain...it is also very funny and witty...if you can go and see him perform live....if not then buy this cd....
