I just listened to The Gun Club’s first album, Fire Of Love. They’re a band that I heard of all through my student years – at least one good friend was a fan – but I somehow never managed to hear properly until now. It’s a scorchingly good album, and I’d recommend anyone who likes either punk or blues (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) to download it from Emusic forthwith.

A very fine album, yes. Although it seems to be about the least favourite Gun Club album of Emusic users. How odd.
Yeah, it’s a fantastic album isn’t it? I’ve got it on very thick, lovely vinyl.
@Graham: The least favourite on Emusic? That’s excellent news, given that I have another 29 downloads this month. What one would you recommend next?
@Fiona: I never understood why vinyl came in so many different thicknesses. I mean, getting thinner over time to keep costs down, as technology improved, I can see. But some quite late-period ones were thick, too.
